Rotation Highlights

In addition, they will spend a couple of days and their continuity clinic site.
Community Medicine
A month-long rotation that is scheduled for November or December of intern year that is aimed to provide interns a better understanding of the resources available to serve their community.

Examples of activities interns participate in include resources scavenger hunt, disaster preparedness, and a public health project.

During this rotation, residents will be introduced to the role physicians play in advocates and leaders not only for their patients, but for the community they serve. They will attend various seminars/workshops including a resolution writing workshop, a microaggression workshop, a seminar on how to give TV interviews, and learn about how they can advocate for clinic efficiency. In addition, all residents will create a public service announcement on a topic of their choice.
