General Internal Medicine Hospitalist Faculty (Tampa)
Drs. Eugene York, and General Internal Medicine Faculty (LVHN)
Students will function as acting interns on the general ward teams at either Tampa General Hospital, Moffitt Cancer Center, the James A. Haley VA Hospital, or Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest Hospital. They will be given direct patient care clinical duties and responsibilities usually assigned to the first year house officer. The medical team residents and attending will closely supervise these clinical responsibilities. The level of clinical responsibilities will be distinctly above that of a third year clerkship rotation in internal medicine. Participating students will have an in depth autonomous inpatient experience so they may confidently assume such care in their PGY1 year regardless of their career choice. Mandatory attendance, excluding patient emergencies, is expected at morning report, noon conference, and grand rounds. Students are also encouraged to participate in the monthly journal club and the M&M conferences.
