Fourth-year medical student rotations done with North Colorado Family Medicine Residency Training Program are highly participatory and are NOT observational. Students are expected to take primary responsibility for the patients they are assigned while being actively supported and supervised by attendings and family medicine residents. Daily didactics occur on each respective rotation. Students deliver 1 talk during the 4-week rotation to the other students, residents and faculty on the same service. Additionally, students attend all residency teaching conferences every Wednesday. All family medicine residents and residency faculty who work with a student have the opportunity to evaluate that student. For inpatient rotations, in house overnight call is taken once weekly (4 times) during the 4-week rotation.
Schedules permitting, there is also opportunity to spend limited time observing in the outpatient family medicine residency clinic as well as the opportunity to spend limited time on one of the other inpatient rotations. Likewise, for the outpatient family medicine rotation, there is opportunity to spend limited time observing one or more of the inpatient rotations.
We also offer rotations in both of our Rural Training Track Program sites at Wray, CO and Sterling, CO.
