The Family and Community Medicine (FCM) Clerkship immerses students in a community-centered, outpatient experience. In this unique Clerkship, students are paired directly with experienced clinician-educators to model effective and comprehensive care of a diverse population. We believe that experiential learning in primary care will provide you with broad clinical knowledge and essential skills necessary for your development, regardless of your ultimate career choice.
