While each clerkship site is unique, a common structure and core curriculum is maintained at all sites. At each regional site, a physician serves as director to organize all educational activities. In addition, a regional site coordinator provides support and logistical details regarding scheduling, housing and gathering of evaluation materials.
All students meet weekly with a mentor. The mentor provides continuity in teaching, leads case presentations and case-based or problem based-discussions. The mentor will review student learning plans at the beginning of the rotation and will evaluate student performance in weekly curriculum sessions.
Students will work with physician preceptors at each clinical site. Students will be assigned to a primary preceptor who will provide orientation to their clinical site, review the student's goals, help select the proper mix of patients, provide ongoing feedback and complete a final evaluation of the student's performance. Students may also work with partners of their primary preceptors.
Students will also work with physician-patient communication instructors who will review audiotapes of patient - student encounters and lead sessions to help students refine interviewing and communication skills. The format of these sessions varies by site.
