The six-week clerkship provides students with faculty-supervised exposure to the evaluation & management of patients in ambulatory settings of family and community medicine with undifferentiated health needs & problems.

The next 8 weeks will form the cornerstone for much of your medical career, regardless of what specialty you ultimately choose.
