FMED 3002 - Junior Family Medicine Clerkship

(10 credits/5 weeks or 12 credits/6 weeks)

Required of all Generalist Track third-year medical students.
All students will be assigned to either Bristol, Kingsport or Johnson City for their six-week Family Medicine Clerkship. Students will be involved with outpatient activities at their assigned ETSU Family Medicine clinic and the inpatient service at the clinic’s associated hospital: Bristol Regional Medical Center, Holston Valley Medical Center in Kingsport or Johnson City Medical Center. Each clinical site will develop their students’ schedules for working in the clinic and in the hospital, to include call schedules. All students will participate in a Transitions of Care team-based huddle and written assignment; complete an EBM/PICO assignment; complete a behavior change assignment; and participate in preventative medicine project during the clerkship.

Clinical location assignments will be made at the discretion of the coordinator and faculty, according to clinic and hospital scheduling needs before the academic year starts and changes cannot be accommodated, except in case of an emergency. Student requests based on a specific “hardship” such as illness, difficult childcare circumstances, or extenuating circumstances will be considered.
