A Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) is a- `continuity-based clinical medical education that requires the student stay in one place, with one set of faculty members and one groups of patients, for an extended period of time' (Norris et al. 2009, p. 902). For this course, medical students will rotate in all of the major clerkship disciplines (Surgery, Ambulatory Internal Medicine, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics and Obstetrics/ Gynecology) at a single LIC site. This patient-centered approach allows students to see patients though all phases of diagnoses and treatment. Students are required to take shelf exams for all clerkship disciplines covered during the LIC and must complete the same case logging requirements as regular clerkship students. In addition to completing the LIC, students are required to complete the Neurology (NEUR 813C) and Psychiatry (PSYI 813C) clerkships in the traditional model.
