During the faculty visit you will be expected to present a patient
in whose care you participated during your Family Medicine
Clerkship. Continuity is a principle in Family Medicine,
so hopefully you will have had more than one encounter
with the patient, be that as in-patient, ambulatory care,
home visits, or all of the previous. Because some of you
have split rotations this might be a challenge, so select
a patient early in your clerkship. Unusual or rare diagnoses
are not the focus of this presentation - rather we are
looking for your understanding of the entire patient and
their system. The presentation should be concise but include
significant facets of a medical history, physical findings,
treatment, and follow-up. Specifics of expectations during
the presentation are noted below, and should address five
general areas. Where appropriate, a portion of the presentation
should address issues raised in context of the family.
Be prepared to respond to questions regarding some of
these issues if they are not addressed during your oral
presentation.
