Family Medicine Residency Clerkship for Whole-Person Care
A clerkship in Family Medicine will prepare medical students for the rigorous career as a family medicine physician, offering close attention with family medicine providers that combines classroom teachings with real-world experience. The AdventHealth family medicine clerkship at the Hinsdale and La Grange locations is an intimate and competitive training program that runs up to eight weeks, and is designed for third-year medical students. Fourth-year medical students may also train in a sub-internship, where they will delve into mastering whole-person healing in a four-week rotation in intensive care, pediatrics and family medicine.
