Medical Student Clerkships

Get a taste of Family Medicine Residency!

We welcome all fourth year medical students to join us for a four week, rural family medicine rotation. We take this opportunity to give the student a taste of what life as a resident in Family Medicine would be. The educational opportunities will be a combination of both inpatient and outpatient experiences. During the four weeks, the student will spend time on each of the following: Outpatient Clinic, Inpatient, and OB/peds services. The student will also join the residents for their Thursday afternoon didactics.

Outpatient Clinic: The student will have their own clinic, supervised by faculty. They will also take part in procedure clinics which may include Coumadin, OMM, MAT, Lumps and Bumps, exercise stress testing, Colpo/reproductive health and others.

Inpatient: Students spend time with our hospital inpatient team which includes a senior resident, 2-3 interns, pharmacy team, and an attending faculty member. They will participate in rounds every morning and be expected to see and present on patients on the service and give a short presentation to the team on a teaching topic. They will be scheduled for a 24-hour weekend call with our inpatient team.

OB/peds: Students will spend time mostly at the hospital with our OB team. The student will conduct newborn exams, help cover the OB deck, manage laboring patients, manage any pediatric patients, and do a Fetal Heart Monitoring Presentation on Friday to the team.

Once your application is accepted, a link will be sent for the student to begin their credentialing onboarding with Banner Wyoming Medical Center. This is crucial for the rotation, as a good amount of time is spent within the hospital.
