Summer and M2 Longitudinal Clerkship Rotations
Following the successful completion of your First Year, you will begin your clerkship experience in a combination of the below. Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics and Surgery will have a Longitudinal component throughout your Year 2.
Family Medicine
The Family Medicine clerkship is a four-week rotation that will introduce you to the principles of family and community medicine. You'll have experiences diagnosing and managing the most common medical problems in family practice. You'll learn the process of care in family medicine, learn how to apply evidence-based medicine in patient care, develop important clinical problem-solving skills and communication skills in the outpatient setting, and enhance their knowledge of population-based medicine.
Obstetrics and Gynecology
The Obstetrics and Gynecology clerkship is an intensive six week rotation designed to provide you with a comprehensive background regarding women’s health, allowing them to obtain the skills necessary to manage routine obstetric and gynecologic problems during their careers regardless of specialty choice.
Pediatrics
The Pediatric clerkship is a six-week rotation that consists of community based inpatient and outpatient pediatrics experience. During this experience, you'll become part of a team taking care of pediatric patients in a hospital and outpatient pediatric settings.
Surgery
The Surgery clerkship is an eight-week rotation and is designed to provide broad exposure to the wide variety of topics in both general surgery and the surgical subspecialties. After completing the clerkship, you will be able to recognize common surgical diseases and be familiar with the initial evaluation and management of these common surgical problems.
Electives
The ӰԺ- Green bay offers several electives in community based clinical settings within the region. Over you second and third year you'll take one, two week elective depending on your individual preferences and scheduling.
Foundations of Pathologic Processes-Musculoskeletal/Skin
The FPP-MSS unit is a foundational integrated course that explores the immune system and its response to infections, concepts important to understanding cell injury, neoplastic processes and genetics. You'll progress through the normal and abnormal development, structure and function of skin, skeletal muscle, cartilage, ligament and bone.
Cardiovascular
Cardiovascular unit examines the anatomy, histology, biology and physiology of the cardiovascular system. You'll explore advanced normal cardiovascular function and disease, as well as major risk factors and their relationship to cardiovascular diseases. Sessions reinforce understanding of the physiological, biochemical, local and humeral mechanisms in control of the cardiovascular system.
Renal-Respiratory
The Renal-Respiratory unit provides a case-based, multi-disciplinary introduction to understanding the kidneys in a clinical context. You'll make connections between renal development, histology and function using an integrative approach to the normal and abnormal function of the upper and lower respiratory systems.
Heme-Lymph
Hematopoietic-Lymphatic unit utilizes a multidisciplinary team to advance your knowledge of the development and function of the hematopoietic system, including hemostasis, thrombosis, anemia, proliferative and neoplastic disease, transfusion and transplantation. Sessions reinforce learning of hematopoietic cells and their function under normal and disease states.
Bench to Bedside
Bench to Bedside course is dedicated to learning activities meant to supplement direct patient care experiences. Topics include multidisciplinary (basic science and clinical faculty) case conferences, the “abnormal” physical exam with basic science and clinical correlations, medical ethics and palliative care, health systems and policy and evidence-based medicine.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
The CPD course is the continuation of the early clinical coursework to ensure your continued competency progression in the clinical setting. This course assigns one clinical faculty director to a cohort of students. The CPD director will monitor and measure your performance and competencies based on your cumulative performance in the required components. You'll work one-on-one with your CPD director to manage an Individualized Learning Plan.
Physician in the Community Pathway
As an ӰԺ-Green Bay student, you’ll participate in our Physician in the Community Pathway, linking your medical education with the resources of our clinical partners and the needs of the Green Bay-area communities to promote health in Northern Wisconsin. This unique ӰԺ experience is designed to cultivate your medical skills and interests, transforming them into a quest for lifelong learning in your practice as a primary care physician, general surgeon or psychiatrist.
