Course Information

Description

This course provides experience for the medical student in a busy outpatient adolescent medicine practice.  The rotation will prepare students for patient care in the outpatient setting that they may experience during residency and beyond.  Students are scheduled to see their own teen patients with a variety of complaints from reproductive health issues to urgent care to primary care.  All clinical care is supervised by attending and fellow preceptors.  A weekly conference series on various adolescent health issues augments learning in addition to observing LARC placement, the inpatient service for treatment of eating disorders, and specialty outpatient care in reproductive-endocrine and eating disorder clinics.  Students help assemble information for our young men's health website.  Students are required to give a short presentation at the end of the rotation.  There is no call.
