INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the Family Medicine medical student education programs at Columbia P&S and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Our office coordinates all educational experiences in Family Medicine for P&S and for visiting students. Our office suite on the 12th floor of the Vanderbilt Clinic provides a home to all students interested in Family Medicine.



Our diverse and talented Family Medicine faculty teaches students from first through fourth year. We co-direct the third year primary care clerkship for all P&S students. We also co-direct a special four year track for P&S students interested in primary care, the Daniel Noyes Brown Primary Care Scholars Program, in collaboration with the Department of Pediatrics. Our division also provides mentorship and support for allied student organizations from the Health Sciences Campus such as the P&S Family Medicine Interest Group and the Black and Latino Student Organization. We also provide resources to our residents and faculty interested in Family Medicine academic education and research.



At the present time, we offer the following fourth year medical student electives:

• 1. Advanced Ambulatory Family Medicine
  2. Family Medicine Inpatient Sub-internship
  3. Latino Health: A Model for Intercultural Learning
  4. Family Medicine Research Elective
  5. Students interested in our electives should first review the " important requirements for fourth year electives".
