Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to develop skills relating with the internal medicine and learn the essential clinical
knowledge necessary to evaluate and care for adult patients. During the clerkship, the students will acquire and be
able to demonstrate the clinical skills necessary to independently evaluate (with appropriate supervision) and care
for adult patients with common medical problems. Student has to learn to prepare and maintain in an accepted
format the medical record of the evaluation and care of inpatients and outpatients, including written or electronic
entry of a complete history and physical examination, progress notes, procedure notes, clinic visit notes, physician‟s orders, and prescriptions for medications. Become familiar with routine procedures commonly
required for the evaluation and care of patients, including venipuncture, bladder catheterization, arterial puncture,
insertion of peripheral intravenous catheters, fecal occult blood tests, electrocardiograms, insertion of nasogastric
tubes
