Medical Student Elective

The Med-Peds Program offers a 4th year student elective working with the Med-Peds Faculty in the Med-Peds clinic site, Culver Medical Group. This elective is offered to U of R students and visiting students.

This is a great opportunity to work with the faculty and see what a med-peds practice is like while getting to know the current residents in our program and spending time living in Rochester.

Learning ObjectivesTo experience the outpatient management of common pediatric & internal medicine problems. Second objective is the exposure to some inpatient medicine and pediatrics.

Schedule of Activities: Daily morning rounds with a Med-Peds attending followed by office hours paired with one of the Med-Peds attendings seeing a mixture of adult and pediatric patients and problems. One weekend of call is required which involves rounding in the hospital and seeing patients on Saturday for 4 hours.

Didactic Activities: Two half-hour teaching sessions per day, following the UR Med-Peds ambulatory curriculum.

Required Reading: None required, but Allen Goroll's "Primary Care Medicine" and Dershewitz's "Pediatric Primary Care" are strongly suggested and are available in the office, so no need to purchase them.
