2. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 2 of 62 Hello, and welcome to Family Medicine! Congratulations on surviving your 1st rotation of clerkship of medical school. As the director of the Family Medicine Clerkship I am pleased to welcome you. I think that you will find it to be a challenging, and hopefully, enjoyable experience. Family Medicine is a specialty like no other. As a new specialty just created in the late 1960s, Family Medicine has a lot to offer to anyone becoming a physician. Even if you have already decided that surgery is your future, every specialty works closely with family physicians. The family physicians role of providing comprehensive and continuous care from womb to tomb also offers a view of medicine that no other specialty can provide. It encompasses many of the skills of all the specialties, producing physicians that are capable of addressing a large majority of the personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community.1 The aim of the clerkship is to introduce you to this specialty and familiarize you with what family physicians are capable of doing and hopefully why we chose Family Medicine. You may find many similarities to the clerkships you have just completed, but that is always going to happen with Family Medicine. However, if you pay close attention you will see the differences. It is for these reasons that the clerkship is offered. The clerkship is an 8-week rotation that will provide you with the opportunity to experience the specialty of Family Medicine. Keep in mind, however, that this part of your medical education can vary. Each of you will work with different preceptors, residents, and patients. Your experiences will therefore vary. Through the use of assigned reading, didactic sessions, and our frequent contact with our affiliated residencies and faculty we hope to maintain a comparable experience for all students. Much of your experience will be in an outpatient setting, which is the setting where most of the medicine practiced today takes place. For those who like the hospital setting, dont worry you will be exposed to inpatient care as well. This will provide you with insight into the way family physicians are trained and the capabilities of family physicians in the hospital. I truly hope you will enjoy this clerkship. Everyone in the department works hard to make this clerkship the best possible. I look forward to working with you during this clerkship. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call or come speak to Cristina Spiegel or me. And please read the syllabus. Sincerely, Kira Zwygart, M.D. Director, Family Medicine Clerkship 1 Institute of Medicine, Committee on the Future of Primary Care. Primary Care: Americas Health in a New Era.

12. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 12 of 62 Class Policy The following are guidelines that all students are expected to follow throughout this clerkship. You may find that they are also important in other clerkships as well and throughout your training. 1. Punctuality is key. Students are expected to be on time to work. Tardiness will not be favorably looked upon. Be aware of how long it will take you to get where you are expected. If you are going to be late, call those expecting you in advance. 2. Dress for the job. As per the USFCOM Dress Code Policy, medical students are expected to maintain a proper professional image in their behavior and personal appearance at all times. Any time students have contact with patients or are in the patient care areas, shorts are not to be worn. Men should wear shirts and ties and women should wear dresses, skirts, or appropriate slacks and blouses. Also white lab coats with name tags should be worn by all students. 3. Know when and where you need to be. Review your schedule and syllabus. Call the site or preceptor 1 week prior to starting each component of the clerkship to determine what time you are expected. This will not only allow you to be on time, but will also prevent you from wasting your own time if you are not expected. 4. Emergencies/Illnesses do occur. Your preceptors recognize that situations arise which require students to miss time from their course/clinical responsibilities. As per the USFCOM Student Handbook, when an absence is necessary the student will telephone the preceptor and the Clerkship Director in charge to report his/her absenteeism by 8:00am on the first day of being absent. He/she should indicate the nature of the emergency. It will be prerogative of the Course Director, following consultation with the student to excuse the absence. The student absenteeism form will be completed and forwarded to the Office of Student Affairs by the Course Director. If the student cannot reach the Course Director, he/she should call our Education Coordinator, (Cristina Spiegel, 974-8482); leave a message on the Course Directors voicemail (Dr. Zwygart, 974-0594) and Contact the Clinic 974-6030. If a student is ill for more than one day, he/she must bring in a doctors note. In situations where the student knows he/she will be absent from any responsibilities for other than medical reasons, the student is required to ask the Course Directors permission in writing at the earliest possible time and at least one week prior to the date of scheduled absence. Non- emergent requests made within 1 week will not be approved. Absences will be expected to be made up in the USF Family Medicine Clinics during scheduled breaks (Christmas and between the end of 3rd year and the start of 4th year) at the discretion of the Course Director. Make up schedules will be coordinated through the education office 974-8482. 5. Be professional. Remember you will need to earn the respect and trust of your patients. As student physicians, you will be expected to behave politely and professionally. Be courteous to the needs of patients and respect their privacy. Be careful not to discuss patient cases in public settings as their illness and history are confidential. In addition, drape patients appropriately during exams and request a chaperone when necessary.

13. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 13 of 62 6. Remember to sign all notes legibly. 7. Be prepared. This means keeping up with reading assignments and being ready to discuss topics in clinics and during case conferences. 8. Be careful. Remember that as a student, you should not act independently or without the knowledge of those legally responsible for the care of the patient. If you are uncertain whether you need a chaperone or are uncomfortable with an exam, let your preceptor know. Every patient needs to be seen by your preceptor.

14. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 14 of 62 Methods of Instruction Clinical Experience Independent Project Didactic Sessions Written H&P Self-Education Core Reading Assignments Clinical Experience 1. USF Month During the assigned month at USF students will spend two days per week at the USF Family Medicine Clinic and two days per week either at a private community physician's office or a community health center. Students will complete a learner's contract with their assigned community physician. The students, under the guidance and instruction of their preceptor, will conduct evaluations of patients and prepare treatment plans. Students will become proficient in the performance, recording, and presentation of the history and physical examination. They will formulate problem lists with plans for diagnostic and therapeutic intervention and provide health promotion and disease prevention strategies through patient education. Students will be expected to be with the private physician throughout the day to include home visits, hospital rounds, nursing home rounds, staff meetings, and surgical assisting. On Wednesdays all students will participate in didactic sessions at USF. To emphasize the importance of community service, all students will attend the Judeo-Christian Clinic or Brandon Outreach Clinic on Wednesday evenings. 2. Residency Month During the additional four weeks of the rotation, students are assigned to one of six affiliated family practice residency sites where they are exposed to both outpatient and inpatient academic family medicine. Students will see patients in the outpatient clinic with the responsibilities as listed above. They will be supervised by residents and/or attendings. Students will also become part of the inpatient service team and be given the responsibility for caring for patients. Students will perform a thorough history and physical on patients assigned to them. They will initiate plans and orders with the aid of the residents. Students are encouraged to write orders on the chart with the counter-signature of one of the residents. They should follow patients closely, perform appropriate procedures under the supervision of the resident, and write daily progress notes. All notes become part of the permanent hospital record for the patient and must be countersigned by a resident or attending. Students will be required to take call and present their cases on attending rounds to the Attending Physician. Students will admit no more than 2 patients per call day, and follow no more than 6 patients at any one time. This part of the clerkship provides students with a view of Family Practice residency training and the broad education required by family physicians. Exposure to Family Practice residencies is important in the recruitment of students into Family Medicine. Independent Project Students are also required to complete an independent project. Students will pick a health education topic during orientation and create a patient education handout for that topic. These patient handouts will be incorporated into clinics at USF and at the Brandon Outreach

15. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 15 of 62 Clinic and JC Clinic, as appropriate. The projects will be due at the final didactic session, in hard copy and on disk. Didactic Sessions Didactic sessions will be held at USF on Wednesdays. Attendance at didactic sessions is mandatory for all students during the month spent at USF. Students will meet in Conference Room MDC 2149 and have workshops on various subjects and procedures, participate in clinical case conferences, and have an opportunity to provide feedback on the course. Students are required to complete the reading assignments and answer case studies prior to each session. The answers to the questions will be discussed in the class. Morning sessions begin promptly at 8:15 am. Afternoon sessions begin promptly at 1:15pm. It is expected that students will be on time and participate fully during these sessions. Arriving late or missing part or all of a session can result in a deduction of points to the students final grade. Written H&P During the USF month, students will be required to complete and turn in a typed H&P on a patient they encountered earlier in the month. The H&P should include the history, physical, lab/diagnostic tests, differential diagnoses, and treatment/education provided to the patient. The H&Ps will be graded according to the H&P Critique Sheet in the appendix. (see Critique Sheet for more details pg. 41). The H&P is due by Friday of the second week at USF to allow for sufficient time for feedback. One point will be deducted for each day that it is late. Self-Education One of the goals of this clerkship is to have students learn the value of lifelong-learning and self-education. All of the knowledge and skills which students need to assimilate during this clerkship cannot be presented in their entirety. We encourage students to develop their intellectual curiosity and self-motivation by assuming responsibility for their own education. Core Reading Assignments Recommended Textbooks Guide to the Family Medicine Clerkship, Susan L. Montauk, M.D., 2001. This is an excellent textbook in family medicine written at a level appropriate for the clerkship. This text is available in the USF College of Medicine bookstore. Essentials of Family Medicine, 4th Edition. Philip Sloane, MD, Lisa Slatt, Med, Mark Ebell, MD, 2002. At the request of students from previous classes, another recommendation was desired for something a little more substantial to have as a reference. This book is used in Family Medicine clerkships around the country, and does come with a CD-ROM of sample test questions. Required Textbooks: Didactic Manual The didactic manual containing review articles on various subjects pertinent to Family Medicine can be purchased through the Family Medicine Department. These articles will help students to complete the case studies and prepare for the final exam. Students will be required to complete case studies and read the review articles prior to the didactic sessions. Please refer to the didactic schedule to determine which topics students need to read each week.

At the discretion of the Course Director, any student who performs unsatisfactorily in any of these areas may be required to remediate the clerkship. B. Written H&P The H&P is 5% of the final grade. Students will hand in a typed H&P on a patient seen during the outpatient portion of the rotation. C. Independent Project This requirement is 5% of the final grade. Students will pick a topic from a list of health conditions or issues and develop a patient education handout for that topic. D. Brandon Outreach Clinic 5% of the final grade is from participation in patient care at the Brandon Outreach Clinic and JC Clinic. E. Logbook Students will enter data of each patient encounter during the rotation into the electronic logbook. This logbook is at our web site at: http://spider.med.usf.edu/OCME/logbookV3/ The patient logbook is worth 5% of the final grade.

17. Updated 8/13/2010 Page 17 of 62 F. Final Exam At the end of the rotation, students will complete a final written exam on Family Medicine that comprises 40% of the final grade. This exam will consist of two parts. Part I is the National Board of Medical Examiners mini-board. It is the policy of the College of Medicine that students must achieve at least 17th percentile on this examination to pass the course. They must achieve at least 45th percentile to receive a Pass with Commendation grade for the course, and a 70th percentile to receive Honors for the course. Part II is a departmental exam, which consists of questions based on the didactic manual and didactic sessions. Students must obtain at least a 70% on the departmental exam in order to pass the course. Students who fail either part of the exam will be required to repeat the portion of the exam that was not passed. If a student is required to repeat the examination, it must be taken by the "uniform testing" date established through Student Affairs. If a student does not pass the repeat examination, he/she will obtain a failure (F) for the clerkship and will be required to repeat the clerkship. Students who pass the repeat examination will obtain a pass (P) for their final exam grade. If a student fails both exams, he/she will be required to remediate at least one month as well as repeat the exams. G. Final Course Grade The final course grade is determined by the Clerkship Director and is based on the various clerkship activities as well as overall performance as presented above. A written summary is then submitted to the registrar's office. A student may appeal a course grade in writing to the Clerkship Director within 2 weeks after receipt of the grade if the student has evidence that the grade was assigned in a malicious, capricious, or erroneous manner. This is not a process for appeal of established departmental grading policies.

29. Appendix LogbookV4 The College of Medicine (COM) requires students in all clerkship programs to maintain a logbook of their experiences and activities. The hard copy logbook is a requirement of the Family Medicine Clerkship. Both must be completed by the end of rotation. The Logbook Application was developed to gather information about the types and quantity of patient contacts med students encounter during their various clerkships. This document can be used as a quick reference guide on using this application. The first screen that appears when this application is opened is the Main Menu screen. This screen controls most features for the application. From the Main Menu a user can navigate to other screens. Main Menu Form The Main Menu has the following options: Patient Logs Upload Reports Menu Export Help Exit Access Patient Logs - This option leads to a new form entitled Clerkship. Once the Clerkship form is opened, the user must select the desired clerkship. Click on Submit. The Patient Logsform now appears. This is where users will spend most of their logbook time. For detailed information about this form read text below entitled "Patient Logs Form". Reports Menu - This option leads to the Reports Menu Screen. This screen lists all the reports that can be generated for hardcopy printing. Upload - When you select this option, several actions are performed: a patientInfo.txt file (which contains all the patient data) is created, the connection with the Spider Web page is established (the computer must have an active internet connection - telephone or network jack properly set), and the patientInfo.txt is uploaded to the server. Export - This option allows the user to export the patient data into a 'comma-separated-values' file (.csv). This file can be imported into any custom database or spreadsheet.

30. Exit Access - Select this option to close all logbook forms and exit Access. Clerkship Form Select the desired clerkship and click on Submit. Patient Logs Form Once the user has completed all the patient information fields, the user has two choices: Save Record - Select this option to save current information and start a new patient entry. When the user selects this option, all the fields are cleared and new information can be added. Main Menu - Select this option to save current information and exit the form. Data Entry Fields in Detail

31. User Name - Type in your HSC account user name. (Example: The user's email is jsmith@hsc.usf.edu; the user name is jsmith). Record #- The patient's medical record number Patient Initials - The patient's initials (3 characters). Age - The patient's age (in years, months, or days) Care From - The date the patient was first seen. (Care) To - The date the care ended. Full Evaluation/Follow Up - Check if the visit was a Full Evaluation or a Follow Up. Inpatient/Outpatient - Check if the visit was an Inpatient or Outpatient. Gender - Indicate the patient's gender: male or female. Clerkship - You DO NOT need to select the clerkship. The clerkship was already selected in the previous form. Attending Physician - Select the physician's name from the list or type the physician's name if not in list. Site - Select the site's name from the list or type the new site. Diagnoses - Select the diagnosis from the list or type the new diagnosis. Procedure - Select the procedure from the list or type the new procedure. Once the procedure is entered, you will be asked to enter the Involvement. You CANNOT type a Procedure without an Involvement. Involvement - Select an Involvement option from the list. You CANNOT type a new Involvement. Comments - Use this field to add comments to your patient entry. Special Control - Toggle Button Many of your entries are probably going to hold the same information throughout a particular clerkship. For example, your username will always stay the same, and the same might happen to other fields. In order to set these values as a default and avoid having to type these fields each time you enter a new record, do the following: first enter a record next click the toggle button (these buttons are located next to each relevant field) for those fields that are going to have the same value(s) in the successive new record(s); once theses button have been clicked their appearance changes to this to indicate that these values are going to be the default value(s) for all new record(s) created during the session; to change these settings just click the toggle button and the default values are cleared.

32. Special Case: Certain menu choices are not listed. Though great effort has been made to accurately provide all of the clerkship information in the menu choices, some items may not be listed. For example, you might find that a specific diagnosis you encountered may not be listed in the "Diagnoses" drop down menu. In such a case type in the new information. Once you are done, a pop-up window opens to confirm if this choice is to be added to the existing list. Select yes and continue with your work. Contact Information If you need assistance with the Logbook Application or have questions, please contact ocmetech at the Office of Curriculum and Medical Education: tel 974-7413 email ocmetech@hsc.usf.edu

43. Techniques to Improve Patient Education Handout for Patients 1. Define the purpose of the material. Decide when and how the brochure will be used and provide behavioral objectives by giving "how-to" information. For example, instead of writing "The medication should be taken twice a day with food," write "Take one pill with breakfast and one pill with supper every day." 2. Use short, eight- to10-word sentences. When possible, use simple words with one or two syllables, write in the active voice and use a conversational style. For example, instead of writing, "Use of nasal saline lavage, followed by nose blowing, greatly decreases nasal congestion," write this: "Spray the salt water into your nose and then blow your nose. Now you can breathe better." 3. Select a type style that is easy to read. Write subheading in uppercase and lowercase letters, and use bold type to emphasize key information in the text. Avoid using italics and abbreviations. 4. Use a great deal of white space between segments of information. Use shorter paragraphs. This appearance is less threatening to readers with low literacy levels. 5. Provide a question-and-answer page for patient interaction. If teaching with a booklet, underline key points with a pen or highlighter. 6. Include simple, meaningful, culturally sensitive graphics. Its important that artwork includes a variety of races and cultures, particularly the ethnic or cultural groups most common in your practice. The text should also reflect the target audiences cultural beliefs and values. 7. Use cues such as arrows, underlines and bullets to help the readers eye focus on the most relevant information. Choose paper colors that appeal to the target audience. The cover of the brochure should be colorful and appealing, and a heading should briefly indicate the message in the text. 8. If possible, use language in the text that your patients would use. This familiar language allows them to focus more on the message and less on decoding the words.

44. Commentary Concerned about the information medical students receive when making residency choices, the Association of Professors of Medicine (APM)the national organization of chairs of departments of internal medicine at U.S. medical schools and several of their affiliated teaching hospitals commissioned a series of three commentaries aimed at providing students and their advisors valuable information regarding three specialties whose practitioners care for adults: internal medicine, family medicine, and combined internal medicine/pediatrics. This commentary details the differences in residency training between internal medicine, family practice, and medicine/pediatrics. The series will continue next month with an article that addresses the qualitative and quantitative differences in the clinical practice of the three disciplines. In April, the final article will articulate the clinical philosophies of internal medicine, family practice, and medicine/pediatrics. APM hopes these commentaries will serve to help medical students gain a clearer understanding of the options available in primary care as they make their career selections. Caring for Adults: A Comparison of Three Residency Options CASE SCENARIO A programs. third-year medical student is referred to your office for discussion of future residency The student has decided that her medical career must include caring for adult patients. After a recent pediatric rotation, she also gets excited about possibly adding pediatrics. She is now left with the dilemma of internal medicine alone, combined internal medicine/pediatrics, or family medicine. She understands that you have helped other students compare and evaluate these three career paths, and she hopes to obtain an objective comparison. This paper explores the objective differences and similarities between residency education in internal medicine, combined internal medicine/pediatrics, and family practice. How do the objective differences shape the outcomes from postgraduate education? What advice should be offered to students who seek help in deciding the best personal career option? GOALS, ACCREDITATION, AND CERTIFICATION The most obvious differences between the three residency programs include the length of training and the stated goals of residency training. Internal medicine residency is 3 years in length and requires the study and practice of health promotion, disease prevention, and diagnosis and treatment of men and women from adolescence to old age, during times of health and through all stages of acute and chronic illness (1). Family practice residency requires formal rotations in internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, and surgery over 3 years. The goal of the family practice training program is to produce fully competent physicians capable of providing care of high quality to their patients. Family practice residency programs should provide opportunity for the residents to learn, in both the hospital and ambulatory settings, those procedural skills that are within the scope of family practice (2). The combined internal medicine/pediatrics residency programs are 4 years in duration with the stated objective of training. . .general physicians for practice/academic careers addressing the spectrum of illnesses in the newborn, children, adolescents, and adults (3). In all programs, it is preferable to complete ones education in the same residency program to facilitate continuity of patient care over several years. The guidelines for both family practice and combined internal medicine/ pediatrics specifically address this issue. Accreditation of internal medicine and family practice residency programs is conducted by

45. the constituted Residency Review Committee (RRC) for each specialty. Combined internal medicine/pediatric programs are not accredited by an individual RRC, but the medicine component and the pediatric component of the combined program are separately accredited by the RRC responsible for the sponsoring categorical programs. Moreover, combined internal medicine/pediatrics programs function under guidelines approved by the American Board of q1998 by Excerpta Medica, Inc.
