All medical students in their clinical years are required to complete a four-week
rotation in ambulatory internal medicine. This course, while grounded in office-based
medicine, also provides students with the opportunity for evaluation and management
of the undifferentiated patient. Students will be assigned to General
Internal Medicine clinics as well as Medicine subspecialty clinics; in each setting,
the student is expected to interview and examine the patient and establish a diagnosis
and plan of care under faculty supervision. This broad exposure to both chronic and
acute problems in multiple settings affords experience in appropriate consultation,
office emergencies, patient education, and reinforcement of the core curriculum across
primary care and subspecialty lines. Problem-based didactic sessions, augments the
clinical exposure and provides for reinforcement of the diagnostic and patient
management skills essential to clinicians in any field. Students may also have
the opportunity to observe exercise stress testing, echocardiography and
pulmonary function testing on selected patients. Clinical experiences are available
at the New Orleans VAMC, Tulane University Hospital & Clinic, the Ochsner
Foundation Clinic, and some community based clinics.
