The objective of this department is to prepare students to carry out their functions as leaders and coordinators of health care teams as they provide access to the health system and assume continuing responsibility for the management of patients over a long period of time. More specifically, the student will:
- Experience a family medicine model of practice, which will infuse the student with a philosophy of family medicine and an understanding of the role of the family physician.
- Demonstrate skills in diagnosis, treatment and management of patients and technical procedures appropriate for family medicine.
- Demonstrate and expand knowledge base in the various fields of medicine encompassed by family medicine.
