Medical Knowledge
Our program is designed to expand clinical knowledge and improve interpersonal skills within the American healthcare context. We provide a platform for gaining experience in outpatient primary care, with a focus on outcome-based management strategies. Our goal is to develop practitioners who are well-rounded, versatile, and culturally competent. They will possess comprehensive knowledge in conditions frequently encountered in primary care.
Patient Care and Procedural Skills
Participants in our program will have the opportunity to observe and learn from a variety of procedures in Ambulatory Surgery, Sports Medicine, and Women’s Health.
Practice-Based Learning and Improvement
We emphasize learning through didactics and intensive study of the latest scientific evidence, ensuring that our preceptees stay at the forefront of medical advancements.
Systems-Based Practice
Our preceptees will experience high-quality, cost-effective medical care across multiple clinics. This exposure allows them to understand healthcare delivery in the context of local healthcare systems and resources. They will also engage in quality improvement projects aimed at enhancing patient engagement, closing gaps in preventive care, and improving patient outcomes.
Interpersonal and Communication Skills
Our training includes diverse communication approaches, enabling preceptees to effectively collaborate within healthcare teams and establish therapeutic relationships with patients and their families.
Professionalism
Our preceptees interact with a diverse population, including individuals from various educational, economic, and cultural backgrounds. They are trained to treat every individual with the utmost dignity and respect.
