Family Medicine Residency Medical Student Rotations
The Residency offers clerkships in its busy Family Medicine Clinic and a "full spectrum" subinternship in the hospital. Students are afforded significant responsibility and attentive teaching from Family Medicine Residents and Faculty. Affiliations with the University of Arizona, Midwestern College of Osteopathic Medicine and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine provide rotations that meet core requirements. Electives are available to all students in good standing from LCME accredited medical schools (U.S. and Canadian Allopathic and Osteopathic schools.) Sorry, we do not offer rotations to international medical students.
Family Medicine Clerkship
The Family Medicine Center at Phoenix Baptist Hospital provides in-depth training for our Family Medicine Residents. Volume is high, and students care for the full spectrum of patients and conditions from challenging acute and chronic conditions to prevention, from children to geriatrics, and including prenatal care and procedures.
We believe students learn best by "doing" under supervision and not "watching" from behind. Students evaluate patients independently, and then review their plans with Faculty and senior Residents. Students are expected to learn effective charting and basic business operations such as billing and diagnosis coding.
The clinic offers computerized access to clinical information and patient education handouts. Faculty and Medical Staff provide daily noon conferences. Continuity of care for your patients can provide experiences in the ER, hospital, and labor and delivery.
Family Medicine Subinternship
As a Family Medicine Subintern, you work as first year resident on the Family Medicine inpatient team providing “hospitalist” services. You care for the full spectrum of challenging inpatients from admission in the ER, to the floor, intensive care units, and into surgery (if you wish!)
Subinterns are responsible for admission H&P’s, orders, progress notes and discharge orders. You are expected to follow up on labs, tests and consults and perform procedures under the supervision of your senior and attending. You present your patient at checkout and rounds, and are expected to use the electronic library to locate and present the latest literature relevant to your patients.
Family Practice faculty and senior residents provide close supervision and teaching: checkout with the night team is at 6:30 am, teaching & radiology rounds at 10:00, literature review at 3:00 pm, and checkout to the night team at 5:30 pm.
To provide continuity, you admit patients during admit patients during the week and do morning rounds on your patients 2 weekends a month. If that is not enough, you are welcome stay overnight for call or accompany the Residents when they cross-cover their peers on Labor & Delivery or the nursery!
