The elective director will contact the student prior to the elective to determine a schedule that will best fit the student's needs. Usually the month is split into a 2 week inpatient component and a 2 week outpatient component for a well-rounded experience. Each student will get a copy of their schedule prior to the rotation. The sample schedule shows what clinic days look like (M-W and F) and the Thursday schedule gives an example of what the schedule is when you are working with the inpatient team. You will have a chance to see independent consults with the inpatient team. You will also see patients on your own and precept with an attending when in outpatient clinic. There is a lot of one on one learning in both the outpatient and inpatient experience.
Conferences: Conference attendance is expected each Monday at 8 am (currently virtual) for our clinical conference. There are additional learning opportunities on Fridays, including journal club and research lectures. We will make the students aware of the lectures available each month.
