The UAB/Selma
                  Family Medicine Residency Program offers a two or four week clerkship
                  in Family Medicine and Rural Medicine to third and fourth year
                  medical students. The main goal of the Family Medicine rotation
                  is to give a short but thorough exposure to Family Medicine.
                  The rotation is designed to integrate hospital and clinic so
                  that total continuity is experienced. The student will spend
                  morning hours making rounds with residents and attendings at
                  the hospital. The student will be assigned certain patients to
                  follow from admission to discharge. History and physicals will
                  be reviewed by the Chief Resident and discussed in depth. The
                  student will be on call one night per week for family medicine
                  with the resident. Weekends are free.
 
                
 
 
              
            
        
        

          

            
  The student will spend two
            or three afternoons per week in the clinic seeing patients with
            upper level residents or attendings. Didactical teaching will
            take place in clinic. One half day per week will be spent in
            a rural clinic, at the local health department, or in a private
            office. One half day is given for reading.

            
Each day at noon there is a conference
            on current topics that students and residents are expected to
            attend. Lunch is provided.
