AMBL 709VC Ambulatory Primary Care - Vancouver Clinic

Credits: 4
Expose students to a traditional outpatient model, a transitional care clinic (post-acute discharge-type clinic run by hospitalists, sometimes seeing patients for as many as 6 months before sending them back to PCP), and a “neighborhood clinic” type of model. Both the transitional and neighborhood clinic models integrate dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, and mental health specialists into the care delivery, and focus on value-based care. This interdisciplinary approach will expose students to innovative methods of outpatient medicine. The emphasis on evidence-based approaches and availability of real-time electronic information resources will enhance the learning experience. Students will also have an opportunity to participate in our noon conference lecture series as well as continuity clinic conference as part of our partnership with the Legacy Salmon Creek Internal Medicine Residency Program.
