ICM: Intro to History taking sessions

 

We are looking for faculty to join us for Introduction to Clinical Medicine in the Spring of 2022. 

 

You can sign-up for as few as 1 or as many sessions as you would like! If you haven’t taught students in the past, this is a great opportunity to get involved in medical student teaching in a well-valued course. Here are some details:

  • Starting at the end of March we will have 6 sessions focusing on history taking. 
  • Sessions run from 2-5:15 pm and take place in-person at the Jordan Medical Education Center in PCAM.
  • Preceptors will have 2 sets of 4-5 students. 
    • One group of 4 will meet from 2-3:30 and the second group will meet from 3:45-5:15 pm.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer any stipend for the course.
