We look forward to working with you as you begin this exciting and challenging phase of your medical education. The information provided within will review various aspects of the Internal Medicine Clerkship.

Clerkship

The Internal Medicine Clerkship includes an eight-week program with four two-week rotations. Orientation is followed by didactic sessions, faculty observed H&P sessions, simulation lab sessions, and Aquifer online cases.

Six weeks of the rotation will consist of inpatient/consult experiences at The University of Toledo Medical Center, ProMedica Toledo Hospital, Riverside Methodist in Columbus, Ohio, and/or St. Joseph's Mercy in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Two weeks of outpatient experiences take place in ambulatory clinics at the University of Toledo Medical Center, ProMedica clinics, or an Area Health Education Center (AHEC) site. Students will gain exposure to General Internal Medicine along with multiple subspecialties including Pulmonary, Cardiology, Nephrology, Endocrinology, Infectious Diseases, Hematology/ Oncology, Gastroenterology, and Rheumatology.

Near the end of each rotation, students will participate in an Internal Medicine OSCE where student skills are evaluated, and this evaluation is modeled on the Clinical Skills exam. The National Board of Examiners (NBME) Internal Medicine Subject Exam is provided at the end of this Clerkship.
