Family Medicine Clerkship

The Family Medicine rotation can be a fantastic clerkship regardless of whet er or not you have an interest in primary care. In many cases you are working directly with an attending, seeing patients independently writing notes and bringing the pain (blood draws, shots, etc...). Take advantage of this rotation to hone your exam skills and learn to manage common illnesses in the outpatient setting.
