PINT 7001 - Internal Medicine Clerkship

In this 10 week experience students participate as members of the ward team performing histories and physical examinations and in the integration and documentation of data derived from laboratory investigation and imaging studies leading to the accurate diagnosis of disease. Students are also exposed to standards of care in the treatment of acute and chronic illnesses of adults. Eight weeks of this experience are devoted to general internal medicine and two weeks are set aside for a subspecialty selective in a variety of areas including cardiology, pulmonology, infectious diseases, and rheumatology. The internal medicine clerkship shares an integrated 16 week block with the psychiatry clerkship. A variety of “shared” teaching and learning opportunities are provided to explore the mental health implications of various diseases and the medical implications of psychiatric disorders.
