Excelling in Your Internal Medicine Clerkship
The internal medicine inpatient clerkship is a unique experience—an opportunity to care directly for patients, see first-hand a variety of acute and chronic illnesses, and develop the skills that are the basis of competent physician’s practice. It’ll be one of the first times you’ll really appreciate that the second year of medical school is behind you, and your life as a physician has finally begun.

One of our staple activities is the “M&Ms with Peanuts” series, in which first- and second-year students are encouraged to attend the Department of Medicine's weekly morbidity and mortality conference.

No preparation is required for either the students or the chiefs, making it easy to plan and run.
