FAMP 709TR Rural Focused Clinical Elective

Credits: 4
This elective is geared toward students who wish to experience rural medicine with robust outpatient clinical care by working with family physicians in rural Oregon. Students will care for patients of all ages in an ambulatory rural clinic. Students will have a myriad of outpatient patient care experiences; and dependent on the site placement, students may also have possibilities to provide patient care in the rural ER, labor and delivery, and inpatient services. During their rotation, students will live in the rural community and explore the lifestyle of a rural physician. Workload expectations for this elective will include six total clinic sessions per week, community activities based on student interest/preceptor recommendations, and independent study.
