A major feature of the block curriculum is our Family Medicine inpatient service. This service is comprised of residents and a family medicine attending, and provides comprehensive patient care in a family medicine model. Thus, patients are cared for in the medicine, surgery, maternity care, rehabilitation and emergency department arenas by the same inpatient team, striving for continuity between the hospital and our family medicine clinic. Our integrated electronic medical record (Epic) facilitates transfer of information and coordination of care.
All blocks are 4 weeks in duration unless otherwise noted.
