AMBL 709B Ambulatory Primary Care

Credits: 4
The purpose of the Ambulatory Internal Medicine elective is for students to develop skills in patient communication, population management, clinical diagnosis/reasoning and management in the care of both acutely ill and complex chronically ill adults. In this experience students work one-on-one with experienced faculty in the outpatient internal medicine clinic. Students will see patients independently, obtain an accurate history and physical exam, develop a differential diagnosis and plan. They will interpret labs and others test results and communicate with patients and care givers. As part of this experience, students will work collaboratively in an interprofessional team as part of patient centered medical home.
