Clerkship 3rd Year
The Family Medicine Clerkship is centered on learning office based primary care in a community practice. Through the lottery (second year) students will be assigned to either a rural community in South Eastern Ontario, or a community practice in Ottawa. The rural rotations are organized through our closest rural network, the Eastern Regional Medical Education Program (ERMEP), who takes care of all the details including lodging. As well two students from each block can choose to work with a different rural network in Ontario (ROMP or NOSM).
As of September 2011 the Family Medicine Clerkship (anglophone stream) will be scheduled as follows for everyone, both rural and community.
Week One: All students will be in Ottawa attending learning modules and doing allied health care provider visits. Students will not be expected to attend clinical offices. Details on exact schedules will be available closer to the beginning of the rotation.
Weeks Two - Six: All students will spend all of this time with their assigned preceptor. The expectation is that the student would experience the full scope of their preceptor’s practice including hospital call, nursing home care, emergency room shifts, deliveries, etc.
