As part of the fourth-year course offerings in the College of Medicine, this secondary acting internship is designed to provide students with an advanced level of direct patient care responsibility, greater than that required during a third-year clerkship or fourth-year elective. During this course, the student will assume direct responsibility for management of patient care, and with the appropriate oversight of supervising physicians, assume the responsibilities of a first-year intern. Activities include (but are not limited to): performing the initial evaluation of patients, developing diagnostic and therapeutic plans, writing notes to document care plans, and communicating with patients, family, and members of the healthcare team. This course provides an opportunity for an in-depth experience for students interested in the field of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics. Students will work one-on-one with a variety of Med-Peds trained faculty members and senior residents. Experiences will emphasize the continuity of care over a person's lifespan with a particular focus on the transition of care from adolescence to adulthood. Students will participate in a variety of Med-Peds primary care clinics.
