Our Residency offers clerkships in its busy outpatient Family Medicine Center and a "full spectrum" subinternship at the Phoenix Baptist Hospital. Students are afforded significant responsibility and attentive teaching from Family Medicine Residents and Faculty. Affiliations with the University of Arizona, Midwestern College of Osteopathic Medicine and Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine provide rotations that meet core requirements. Electives are available to all students in good standing from LCME accredited medical schools (U.S. and Canadian Allopathic and Osteopathic schools). Sorry, we do not offer rotations to international medical students or observerships.

The Family Medicine Center at Phoenix Baptist Hospital provides in-depth training for our Family Medicine Residents. Volume is high, and students care for the full spectrum of patients and conditions. You will see challenging acute and chronic conditions from children to geriatrics. You will provide health education, preventative care, prenatal care, and do procedures.
We believe students learn best by "doing" under supervision and not "watching" from behind. Students evaluate patients independently, and then review their plans with Senior Residents and Faculty. Students are expected to learn effective charting and basic business operations such as billing and diagnosis coding. The clinic offers computerized access to clinical information and patient education handouts. Faculty and Medical Staff provide daily noon conferences and bi-monthly "education days" which include specialty and procedure clinics and hands on procedure workshops. Continuity of care for your patients can provide experiences in the hospital, labor and delivery as well as opportunities in sports medicine, geriatrics, colposcopy and OB ultrasound.

As a Family Medicine Subintern, you work as first year resident on the Family Medicine inpatient team providing "hospitalist" services. You care for the full spectrum of challenging inpatients starting with admission in the ER, then daily follow-up on the floor, the intensive care units, and into surgery (if you wish).
Subinterns are responsible for admission H&P's, orders, progress notes and discharge orders as well as dictating H&P's, discharge summaries and transfer summaries. You present your patient at checkout and rounds, and are expected to use the electronic library to locate the latest literature relevant to your patients.
Family Practice faculty and senior residents provide close supervision and teaching: check-in with the night team is at 6:30 am, teaching & radiology rounds at 10:00, literature review at 3:00 pm, and checkout to the night team at 5:30 pm.
We accept up to two subinterns per four week block, with time spent both with the day and night teams. If you wish, there is also the opportunity to accompany our nursery resident in Labor and Delivery, OB triage and to see newborns in our nursery.
