Inpatient Medicine Shadowing Rotation

The objective of this rotation is to provide second year medical students the opportunity to experience the application of their medical education to clinical scenarios in the hospital. Students will have a one-day weekend shadowing opportunity (either on Saturday or Sunday morning) with a dedicated internal medicine team and witness the evaluation and management of patients to better understand the roles of the different team members, the flow of rounds, and the functions of history taking and physical examinations to perform a patient assessment. Following the experience, the students will debrief with the course directions. Students will also attend virtual weekly lectures/discussions on Friday afternoon from 1:30-2:20pm to learn about the ins and outs of inpatient rotation logistics.
