The instructional objectives of the elective clerkship in family practice are to build on the skills and knowledge accumulated in the basic science areas and the other clinical specialty areas and reinforce them and apply them to the delivery of health services to the family unit and relate them to the individual, the family and the community. The clerkship, through supervised patient contact within the hospital and in the Family Practice Center and supervised teaching conferences, will amalgamate and reinforce the skills and previously gained clinical knowledge into the philosophy of primary health care delivery in breadth rather than depth. Offered in Modules I-XII. Prerequisite: Completed third year.
