OCOM 8010 - Family Medicine


Family Medicine must be completed by December of the third year. This four week rotation is designed to provide experiences in an ambulatory family medicine setting that highlight the unique role of the family medicine physician and the principles and practice of family medicine. Upon completion of this rotation, the student will appreciate the family medicine practitioner’s role as the physician of first contact who delivers holistic, family-oriented, comprehensive, continuous medical care to patients entering the health care system. This rotation will also enhance students’ history and physical exam, diagnostic, procedural, OMT, interpersonal communication, psychosocial, and practice management skills to improve patient care; and develop greater confidence in providing traditional quality medical care in ambulatory settings.
