Family Medicine Clerkship |
|
Director:
David Morohashi, M.D. |
|
The clerkship places students with a
family physician in a UC Irvine outpatient clinic. The
principles of family medicine and primary care will
become apparent as students see a variety of patients
presenting with some of the most common problems handled
by family physicians. Our clerkship
offers a variety of vignettes. Students will develop an awareness
of the principles of community health and epidemiology,
as practically applied in an ambulatory care setting.
Working in the current health care delivery environment
will expose students to issues pertaining to insurance
plans, health care costs, and appropriate test ordering.
Special topics include health maintenance,
evidence-based medicine, dealing with difficult patients
and learning about the lifestyle of a family physician.
During your family medicine clerkship, you are assigned
to work one half day with a geriatrician. Please click
