The purpose of this elective is to acquaint the senior student with the specialty of Family Medicine in the context of private practice in that discipline. The student is assigned to work in conjunction with a Family Practitioner in the community. Mornings will generally consist of hospital rounds with the preceptor. Afternoons will be spent at the physician's office. The student will have an opportunity to directly participate, with supervision, in all aspects of patient care. Attendance, with the preceptor, at hospital Staff and Continuing Education Meetings, home care, and community medical activities is encouraged. Arrangements to spend free time in the various conferences and activities of the Fort Wayne Family Practice Residency are possible.
