For Students

FAMED 701 APC - WRITE Students only

Course Description

This four-week clinical outpatient experience takes place in WWAMI Rural Integrated Training Experience (WRITE) sites, where students function at the level of a beginning intern, taking primary responsibility for outpatient care, with appropriate supervision, to refine core clinical skills, expand medical knowledge, improve clinical reasoning, and work as an integral part of the clinical team. Prerequisite: Completion of core WWAMI Rural Integrated Training Experience (WRITE).

Participating Sites

Many WRITE sites participate in FAMED 701 each year. If a WRITE site does not incorporate OB/GYN or Pain Medicine into the integrated experience, the APC will be included at the end of the rotation. These four weeks are not integrated with the core WRITE curriculum. If there are further questions about a specific site schedule, please contact the WRITE office.
