The Family and Community Medicine Clerkship is one of seven required clerkships at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. (This clerkship is not open to visiting students.)
The FCM Clerkship utilizes a community-oriented family medicine problem-solving conceptual approach to common clinical problems and prevention. We have a variety of clinical sites, urban and rural, located throughout the state of Arizona.
About the FCM Clerkship sites:
Site assignments will be done by the FCM clerkship. FCM will assign sites to RHPP students first for each rotation/period. We will then assign the remaining students to our sites. We have a variety of sites in and outside of Tucson. Some which are: urban, private practice, a residency site or an Indian Health Service. For a current list of sites, email the Clerkship, Program Manager.
Note: Although a student might not be RHPP, you may be assigned to a rural site.
We cannot always accommodate request to stay in Tucson. Please make all necessary (personal) arrangements in order to complete your rotation at the assigned sites.
