Refer a patient to Children’s Colorado.
During the 2022-2023 admission cycle, about 22,700 students enrolled in medical school in the United States. In this country alone, we have 154 medical schools offering an MD program. Many of these schools are actively working to incorporate modern learning principles into their structure. It’s all part of a larger goal to align the forces affecting the delivery of care with educational priorities. Over time, comprehensive care has become a widely accepted standard for modern medicine; it puts positive patient outcomes at the forefront. That’s why creating those environmental opportunities is crucial to medical students as they prepare for a long career at the bedside. A Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship, or LIC, is a clinical curriculum in which students participate in the comprehensive care of patients over time.
Listen to our pediatric experts discuss the LIC model
In this episode of Charting Pediatrics, Amy Grover, MD, Meghan Treitz, MD, and Margie Rodgers join us to discuss the LIC model at Children’s Hospital Colorado and how students gain exposure to the clinical world earlier in their medical school journey.
Dr. Grover is a pediatrician at Children’s Colorado and an assistant professor of pediatrics and pediatric hospital medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine (CUSOM).
Dr. Trietz is a pediatrician at Children’s Colorado and an associate professor of pediatrics and general pediatrics at CUSOM.
Rodgers is an LIC coordinator at Children’s Colorado and CUSOM.
In this episode, our experts discuss:
- What an LIC is and how it works
- The advantages of an LIC curriculum compared to other medical education practices
- How students learn every discipline through an LIC in a pediatric hospital setting
- The impact of LIC programs on medical school preceptors
- Stories about unique patient care experiences from students
