Content

Tuesday of week 1: Orientation to clinic and hospital, and completing any necessary paperwork. Student will have one provider assigned as their main preceptor, however they will rotate among the different providers in clinic and at the hospital. During the first orientation day student will discuss goals of rotation and a schedule will be made to facilitate these goals. Student can choose to spend the entire time with one specialty or to rotate with different specialties. In any case, in this rural care environment the student will be responsible for seeing patients in clinic, at the hospital and at the nursing homes. To gain a full appreciation of the rural multi-specialty clinic we would recommend that, where possible, the student follow a particular patient to their primary care appointments, and then to their specialists appointments and even through any hospital admissions for a true continuity of care opportunity.
