FAM 300 - Family Medicine

The EVMS Family and Community Medicine Clerkship provides students with clinical experience in the outpatient clinic and inpatient/hospital setting as well as community-engaged learning experiences at EVMS and partnering institutions. Our faculty and residents contribute to medical student education through direct observation in the clinical setting, bedside teaching, interactive case-based didactics, standardized patient encounters, review of clinical documentation, and student mentoring and advising. Students will develop the ability to apply the principles of family medicine care to gather information, formulate differential diagnoses, and manage patients with one or more common acute or chronic disease. Additionally, students will discuss the critical role of physicians within any health care system and develop evidence-based health promotion and disease prevention plans for patients of any age or gender.
