The Northwest Campus currently hosts 14 fourth year medical students and 15 family medicine residents. As a result, a good selection of clinical rotations and the best preceptors are usually available for students. We have an outstanding internal medicine acting internship which is directed by Jeffrey Verhey, MD. Our emergency medicine rotation is directed by Paul Olson, MD and has been highly regarded by students as is the neonatology rotation with Thomas Carver, DO. For anyone interested in radiation oncology, Kevin Collins, MD is an excellent and knowledgeable preceptor. We also offer general electives that are provided by phenominal preceptors such as orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, oncology & hematology, nephrology & metabolic disorders, cardiovascular & thoracic surgery, community medicine & public health, plastic & reconstructive surgery, allergy & immunology, and endocrinology.

A calendar of events and hospital committee meetings as well as a newsletter from the Angus L. Cameron Medical Library are distributed to the medical community each month to keep them informed of continuing education opportunities as well as new links and resources that are available to them on the Northwest Campus.

Our Medical Librarian , Karen Anderson, has been serving the local medical community since 1996. She has eagerly assisted medical students, residents, and the local medical community not only with medline searches but by offering workshops in various computer related topics. As you will note from her homepage, she is an interesting and accomplished webmaster, as well. When you have an opportunity, please take some time to browse through the extensive number of links she has provided.

While "on campus" students are encouraged to take part in the various activities of the medical community in this part of the state. The Center for Family Medicine, a residency program of the medical school, as well as Trinity Health provide continuing medical education opportunities to the local community on a regular basis. In addition, special medical events are hosted throughout the year including the biannual CME lecture series sponsored by the Northwest Campus.
