The purpose of this elective is to acquaint the student with the specialty of Family Medicine, including the post-graduate training in that discipline, at the Fort Wayne Family Practice Residency. The student directly participates in all phases of patient care under the direct supervision of a senior resident, the Residency Director, and/or the residency faculty. The student attends hospital rounds with the residents and all educational conferences or lectures scheduled for the residency. After-hours patient care in conjunction with the resident(s) on call in the hospital is encouraged. Substantial exposure to Obstetric, Emergency, and Critical Care problems are common in this setting. Arrangements with the Residency Director to design and implement a research project in areas pertinent to Primary Care are possible.
