Welcome Messages

Clinical education in Family Medicine is designed to enable students to establish competencies in the family physician's approach to the practice of medicine. The approach emphasizes the provision of medical care for a broad spectrum of patients in an ambulatory setting.
This training in family medicine will provide students the opportunity to strengthen basic skills which are essential in any specialty of clinical medicine. These skills include interviewing, history taking, physical examination, and physical diagnosis.
In addition, students will learn to assess the social and psychological context of illness and the therapeutic role of the family physician in that context. The assessment and management of both routine and complicated medical conditions will be integrated with the application of the principles of quality, cost-effective health care, patient education, and health promotion.
At the end of the clerkship, the student should be able to demonstrate a clear, deliberate and effective problem-solving approach to tasks inherent in all physicians' roles and essential to a family physician's role. The process of problem-solving will be emphasized and evaluated as the student applies them to the analytic tasks and interventions which follow.
At Aultman, we strive to make every member of the team feel valued, heard, and respected. Honesty is implicit in our daily work and communication is always direct and open. Ultimately, our goal is to deliver healthcare with compassion and respect.
We will do everything possible to make this an enjoyable and productive learning experience. We want you to grow and learn in a supportive nurturing environment.
Welcome to the Aultman Family Medicine Clerkship and we hope you enjoy your time with us.
