Acting Internship in Family Medicine

Catalog Description: This 4-week elective is offered at all of the University of Minnesota-affiliated residency programs in Family Medicine (Twin Cities, Duluth, St. Cloud, and Willmar), and select other local programs. This elective provides students the opportunity to experience the full spectrum of Family Medicine and Community Health and what it is like to be an intern at that program. The student will work with Family Medicine faculty physicians and residents in all the facets of Family Medicine care available at that program. These may vary by site, but can include: outpatient clinic; telehealth; inpatient hospital service; labor and delivery; after hours and weekend work or overnight call; procedures; and, where applicable, nursing home rounds, home visits, or other community service activities. Each period, students will meet virtually with a course director, present a case, and hear classmates' presentations followed by a group discussion. Additionally, there is a schedule of Guest Residency program presentations that any past, current, or future Family Medicine Acting Intern may join. A quorum of 3 students is necessary to offer this elective in any given period.
