Overview
Interdisciplinary Studies : The public health selective in 4th year of clerkship is an innovative opportunity for students to work with clinician role models who are dedicated to improving the health of vulnerable and marginalized patients and populations. This community-oriented clinical rotation provides hands-on learning opportunities whereby students can choose from a wide variety of clinical practice placement sites that match their future career interests (e.g. methadone clinic, breastfeeding clinic, refugee clinic, etc.). In addition to clinical work, there is a great deal of protected time during the rotation for attending teaching sessions, completing self-directed readings and online short courses, doing an advocacy exercise, working with peers on a small group project and, finally, writing a self-reflection paper based on what students have experienced and learned during the rotation.
