FAMP 709V Sub-I Family Medicine at OHSU Health Hillsboro Medical Center

Credits: 6
A four-week sub-internship in Family Medicine is available for 4th year medical students who have completed their core clerkships and are interested in rotating at a family medicine residency. The sub internship is an intensive, rigorous experience in which students will spend two weeks on inpatient service at OHSU Health Hillsboro Medical Center and two weeks at the OHSU South Hillsboro Primary Care outpatient clinic, an OHSU Hillsboro Medical Center Family Medicine Residency teaching site. 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 experience family medicine faculty, and presenting their patients at afternoon report. Students will also be expected to work with their teams on early evening coverage of patient calls, ER visits, and inpatient care. Some cross cover for newborn and labor and delivery is possible. In clinic, students will work with a 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. One day of the outpatient rotation will involve community outreach such as spending a day seeing vineyard workers with the Salud outreach van or going to a long term care facility with a geriatrician.
