Minimum Credits: 0
Maximum Credits: 0
The specialty care clerkship is a four (4) week rotation that includes a combination of one week experiences in the disciplines of ENT, ophthalmology, adult emergency medicine and pediatric emergency medicine. In addition to four weeks of clinical time, students will attend weekly lectures, workshops and lab activities. This required clerkship begins with orientation and a suturing and splinting session followed by a simulation-based session in phone communication (how to best communicate medical information over the telephone to patients). One morning each week there will be an ophthalmology lecture and an ENT lecture. Additional morning workshops include dermatology, EKG cases, dizziness and audiology, musculoskeletal exam and rehab and musculoskeletal radiology. The lecture will be followed by clinical responsibilities. Students are evaluated by each specialty area based on clinical performance and will take an on-line proctored examination. One grade will be assigned for the entire four week rotation.
