| The Primary Care Blocks |
| |
|
The primary care block rotations are 3, four-week clinical, didactic and research experiences that expand residents' knowledge about primary care and improve residents' ability to care for diverse populations. The clinical work revolves around two themes: the care of vulnerable populations (e.g. the homeless and patients with addictions) and non-medical specialties (e.g. ophthalmology, dermatology and orthopedics).
During the 3 Primary Care block rotations all Primary Care residents are assigned to outpatient electives to allow for a half-day seminar series each week. Seminars focus on outpatient medical, legal, and phychosocial issues that arise when caring for patients in the ambulatory setting.
