FAMP 709A Sub-I Family Medicine

Credits: 6
A four-week sub-internship in Family Medicine is available for medical students interested in a family medicine residency who have completed the core. The sub internship is an intensive, rigorous experience in which students will spend two weeks on inpatient service and two weeks in one of four OHSU Family Medicine outpatient clinics. As much as possible, sub interns will be given opportunities to demonstrate skills at the level of an incoming intern. On inpatient service students will be responsible for closely following patients, managing their care under the guidance and supervision of residents and faculty, and presenting their patients at morning report. Students will also be expected to work with their teams on early evening coverage of patient calls, ER visits, and inpatient care. In clinic, students will work with a senior resident or faculty preceptor, seeing a wide variety of patients independently and observing or being observed by their preceptors during the course of patient care. Under the supervision of their preceptors, students will be expected to write chart notes and /or do dictations and to help provide ancillary care such as interpreting x-rays, reading ECGs, etc.
