The Geriatric Medicine Clerkship, led by Huai Cheng, MD<\/a><\/strong>, is organized and taught by the Geriatric Medicine section of the Division of General, Geriatric, Palliative & Hospital Medicine in the Department of Medicine. This required two-week clerkship, taken during the fourth year of medical school, involves students in the daily care of older patients who have a wide variety of acute and chronic illnesses and abnormal physical findings. Each student is paired with a physician mentor\u00a0for clinical teaching and ongoing feedback, and is responsible for his or her own panel of patients at a skilled nursing facility. The Department of Medicine has oversight of three required clerkships in the undergraduate medical education program: the internal medicine clerkship, the ambulatory internal medicine clerkship (a component of the IM clerkship), and the geriatric medicine clerkship.
