INTERSESSION

Description:

These one-week mandatory sessions between clerkship rotations are designed to integrate basic science knowledge with clinical reasoning skills and to incorporate topics not offered in other areas of the curriculum. . Major components of the program include clinical reasoning skills, health care team visits, and pre-clerkship activities that offer preparatory information for each student's upcoming clerkship rotation. Clinical reasoning and patient assessment skills are taught through patient cases that focus on care of the elderly . In clinical reasoning activities students work in teams to gain an appreciation for the value of an interprofessional team-based approach to patient care. To further their appreciation for the health care team, students spend one half-day with a non-physician member of the team (e.g., nurse, social worker, pharmacist, physical therapist).
