Community Medicine Elective
 This four-week elective can be completed during either the third or fourth year of training. Students are introduced to formal and informal medical, public health and social support programs involved in community health care. The course is designed to be individualized to students’ specific population-medicine interests, and is predominantly experiential, with students completing rotations in local, state, national or international health care settings and agencies. The training experiences generally go beyond the boundaries of clinical medicine and encompass environmental, public health and multidisciplinary efforts to improve the health status of groups and individuals. At the conclusion of the elective, students submit a written report and presentation describing their community-based experiences, and how the experiences are relevant in the context of the population medicine perspective and the social determinants of health.
