The clinical elective is a four-week rotation that allows the student to obtain in-depth exposure to outpatient cardiology with an expert preceptor(s) at an outpatient clinic associated with a regional medical center. Students are expected to be proficient at acquisition of the history and performance of the physical examination, are expected to integrate data from the history and physical with appropriate studies and synthesize cogent patient assessments and plans, and to utilize these skills in the work-up of patients that are seen in the outpatient clinic.
