The residents, faculty, and staff of Utah Valley Family Medicine Residency in Provo, Utah, encourage all interested fourth-year medical students to come and spend four weeks with us for a family medicine rotation. We are committed to providing a meaningful learning opportunity in an educationally progressive, supportive learning environment.
Rotation Overview
Students who do rotations with us spend part of their rotation rounding with our inpatient family medicine team at Utah Valley Hospital. Our hospital service provides the full spectrum of family medicine, including adult and obstetric patients. Students are responsible for following their own patients, writing progress notes and presenting a care plan to the team on rounds. Students are also required to do some day/evening call.
Students are encouraged to be contributors on the team by participating in discussions, procedures, and occasionally making presentations on pertinent medical topics. The remainder of the month is spent in our outpatient clinic located across the road from the main hospital campus for about 2 weeks.
About the Clinic
This clinic is a state-of-the-art facility with 19 exam rooms and two procedure rooms. It offers students experience with electronic medical records.
