Clerkships and Electives

Internal Medicine
How frequent and rich are the teaching opportunities? Efficient use of time? Availability of resources (library, hospital internet, etc.)? Thoughts on the workshops at UVA? Please begin posts with your site name, if relevant. What do YOU recommend to improve specific deficits?

Surgery
Consider subspecialties versus general surgery, as well as UVA vs. away sites. Did you solicit and receive expectations and feedback from your superiors? Were rounds / OR instructive? Were there obstacles to learning procedures such as suturing, inserting and withdrawing tubes and lines, changing dressings and wound VACs, etc.? Discuss organized teaching time, conferences, war games, and assigned presentations, etc.

Pediatrics
Does the clerkship optimally introduce and reinforce concepts integral to diagnosis and management of disease in newborns, children, and adolescents? Is time on the ward and clinics wisely distributed? How do you consider the various extra-clinical learning methods (CLIPP, lectures, essays, etc.)? Site-specific issues?

Curriculum-Wide Discussion

Opportunities for Integration
Have you found some aspect of a course or clerkship that might benefit from a cross-disciplinary approach? Do POM, the "mother of integration," or Clerkship workshops address this need? Are there cross-disciplinary experiences worth commending?

Surpluses and Deficits
Have you found a redundancy across two or more courses? Is there disparate emphasis on a specific learning matter than a demand on the wards? Do you find a need for more or less instruction in business and ethics? Workshops on interview skills or physical diagnosis?

vMed and the USMLEs
Have you found strengths or weaknesses in the curriculum (consider first your own) that compare disparately with their emphasis on licensing exams? Do you see a need for more or less USMLE-focused review?
