FAMP 709P Sub-I Family Medicine at Providence Milwaukie

Credits: 6
A four-week sub-internship in Family Medicine is available for students who meet the required prerequisites through the Providence Oregon Family Medicine Residency. The sub-internship is an intensive, rigorous, and rich experience in which students will spend two weeks on inpatient service and two weeks at either PMG Milwaukie Clinic or PMG Southeast Clinic. Our clinics and providers are dedicated to caring for patients across their life span, especially to those who are poor and vulnerable. 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 rounds. Students will also be expected to work with their teams on early evening coverage of patient calls, ER visits/admissions, 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 help provide ancillary care such as interpreting x-rays, reading ECGs, etc.
