Course Description

In S-CORPS, pre-clerkship medical students participate in the clinical care and support for vulnerable patient populations who are disproportionately affected by the challenges of the complex healthcare system. Under the guidance of a paired physician mentor, students will build longitudinal relationships with at-risk and isolated patients via a team-based care model, providing care in the model of future practice: in person, via virtual video, and telephone calls. In addition to contributing to the care of patients, students participate in biweekly didactics and debrief small group sessions to learn highly applicable clinical skills and reflect on their early patient experiences and professional identity formation. This course fulfills the ECE graduation requirement for students who complete one quarter. Students who participate in Inde 280 will have priority for continuity preceptor placement in Ambulatory Medicine, Family Medicine, Geriatrics, and Palliative Care specialties as MS2+. Students co-enrolled in INDE 290 attend the INDE 290 didactics to meet the course didactic requirement. Open to Medical Students only.
