Clinical Methods PCCM Year 2
Family Medicine PCCM takes place between March and May 2012 for 6 hours total per student.
Schedule will be sent to students by February 1st.
Mileage: Students will be reimbursed for mileage for communities outside of London. Please contact Program Coordinator to request mileage reimbursement at the conclusion of this teaching.
Electives/Observerships
Year 1 and 2 Electives (observerships) in Family Medicine are an excellent way to get a first hand look at the spectrum of illness in the community and to see the role of family physicians in the health care system. The timing of your elective can be very flexible and worked out between you and the physician.
These electives can take place in London, or one of the surrounding communities as on the
communities pageunder 'electives'. As a guideline, we suggest that you participate for 2 hours once or twice a week for 2 to 3 weeks (for a total of 4 to 12 hours depending on interest). Students are given the option to arrange their own family medicine electives directly, or they can contact the
Program Coordinatorto assist in finding an appropriate physician.
If you arrange an elective in Family Medicine, please report your preceptor and dates to the Program Coordinator.
It is very important that Family Medicine is aware of your elective so that payment can be received by your preceptor.
PROCESS FOR REQUESTING AN ELECTIVE
Please review the
community listing and choose your top preferences. Send an email to Kari McLennan indicating your request, including dates and times available. Your request will be sent to the physician, and once confirmed, Kari McLennan will contact you for confirmation. Please allow 3-4 weeks for confirmation. You may also contact the preceptors directly to arrange an elective but please report any observerships to Kari McLennan. Please note that these electives usually take place for a 3 hour time period, up to 12 hours total and can take place throughout the academic year.
