Description:

This is a four week course designed to prepare the senior medical student for residency. A multi-disciplinary team of master educators from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine will run the morning presentation of over twenty topics including; The Febrile Patient, Dealing with the Difficult Patient, and How to Minimize Your Risk of a Legal Action. Each of these presentations will incorporate patient simulation, phone call simulation, and audience participation to maximize the learning experience.

Each afternoon the student will learn to identify and treat over 100 ambulatory entities in sessions entitled "Outpatient Clinic". This will be followed by a 90 minute simulation session, "Your Worst Nightmare on Call".

At the completion of this course, the graduating student should be well prepared to face a wide range of challenges in internship.
