Introduction

Six week required primary care clerkship for UC students. Students are assigned to one of four sites: San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Salinas or Fresno. In San Francisco, students are assigned to a combination of clinical practice sites including Community Health Network-Family Practice Residency Program at San Francisco General Hospital, the Ambulatory Care Center on Parnassus Ave, UCSF-Mt. Zion Medical Center Primary Care Clinic, Lakeshore Family Practice and a variety of clinical practices in and around San Francisco.

Students will be taught the basic skills of diagnosis and treatment of the common problems of family practice. At Santa Rosa, Salinas, and Fresno, students have their patient care experiences in family practice centers, general medicine clinics, or neighborhood community clinics. Students schedules at all sites include five or six clinical sessions (half days) per week. In the Family Medicine/Primary Care clinics, students are scheduled to see three or four patients per session. Two half days per week are devoted to didactic and interactive seminars, which include the management of common primary care problems in children and adults and preventive medicine.

Another interactive seminar series addresses issues of behavioral and social science in primary care. Special curricular experiences during the clerkship provide students with exposure to home care, medical practice issues, and substance abuse. Students at most sites are also assigned work in community settings and complete a community-oriented primary care project during one or two half-day sessions per week.

Please note that although most students will have most nights and weeknends free, at some sites, working on weekends or evenings may be required. Please check your specific clinic assignment before making weekend or evening committments which cannot be changed.
