residency offers both sub-internships and clinical electives in
family medicine for third and fourth year medical students. The
sub-internship is a four-week rotation working as a member of
the Family Medicine Inpatient Hospital Team. Students should
expect a broad experience, including ICU, placement of central
lines and ventilator management consistent with our program's
emphasis on preparation for rural practice. While on the
service, students will be on call with the R1 on the service,
averaging approximately every fifth night and will function as
much as possible as a first-year resident. Students will spend
approximately one-fourth of their time (depending on the sub-I
requirement of your school) seeing patients in the Pocatello
Family Medicine Clinic.
A four-week
clinical elective or preceptorship is also available. The
curriculum for this rotation is more flexible and may include
inpatient and outpatient family medicine, obstetrics, nursing
home care, sports medicine, emergency medicine and community
health center experience. Interested students are encouraged to
call to discuss specific preferences.
The
Residency will reimburse some travel to and from Pocatello, if the
student will be interviewing for a residency position during
his/her rotation. Free housing within walking distance of the
clinic and the hospital is available for the student and his/her
family. Meals are also provided during working hours.
The
interested medical student must have completed his/her third
year family medicine clerkship prior to beginning the rotation
at Idaho State University. Students should complete this
