Job Summary:

Core clinical education will occur in a longitudinal, integrated fashion primarily in an outpatient setting, with targeted hospital-based training called immersions placed during the core clinical year.

Core competencies will be taught encompassing care of adults, children, and pregnant patients taught by providers representing the disciplines of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, surgery, and emergency medicine.

A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) was created based on three foundational characteristics of an effective, core clinical educational environment:

(3) Meeting a majority of core clinical competencies in an ongoing, continuous fashion through those experiences

Specialty liaison roles will be at a .05 to .15 FTE of salary support (plus benefits) for faculty. The FTE salary support is dictated by the numbers of students at the LIC site. Specialty liaisons will be hired as needed throughout the year.


Key Responsibilities:

• Oversight of inpatient immersion experiences for all LIC students at that site.
• Develop protocols and systems to facilitate longitudinal care of patients for students, including assisting students in follow up of patients who are admitted for inpatient treatment and follow-up in specialty care areas.
• Recruitment and oversight of preceptors who work longitudinally with students.
• Provide ongoing education of faculty and housestaff about student roles in patient care and best practices in teaching LIC students.
• Provide ongoing faculty development to preceptors regarding longitudinal precepting, mentoring and assessment skills.
• Close collaboration with Clinical Core Directors (CCDs) to ensure LIC students are achieving competency and comparability in all required domain aspects required by the clerkship.
• Develop all specialty-specific didactic content in conjunction with CCDs and BSCDs.
• Facilitate/teach specialty-specific didactic sessions over the course of the year (or recruit faculty speakers).
• Assist with the regular assessment of students including direct observation, identification of students who need support, collaboration with CCD on remediation plans, gathering of assessments and feedback from all supervisors working with students, creating summary reports of student progress, and participation in grading meetings
• Assist with the administration of the LIC programs at their site as needed

Other Expectations

• All liaisons are expected to be involved in direct student teaching as an LIC preceptor
