Theory and Practice of Medicine: The purpose of the Internal Medicine Clerkship is to teach
students how to [1] properly collect and report data from patients in both the outpatient
and inpatient setting, [2] synthesize this data using their book-knowledge of disease
processes and clinical problem solving ability to form a comprehensive differential
diagnosis for each clinical problem and, [3] manage patients with appropriate diagnostic
and therapeutic plans.
Students evaluate new patients, perform complete and thorough history and physical examinations, obtain and interpret essential laboratory tests, and integrate this information into differential diagnoses. Approach to and management of common medical problems is emphasized through bedside teaching and daily morning report conferences. The appropriate cost effective utilization of laboratory tests and procedures, including consideration of possible complications, is stressed. The humanistic, moral, professional and ethical aspects of medicine are an integral part of this program. For more information, please see:
