This core rotation, comprised of both ambulatory and inpatient settings, introduces students to the various topics of general internal medicine. Serving a social-economic and ethnically diverse population, students are immersed into primary, tertiary and specialty care. By the end of their clerkship, students are well on the way to developing a rational, evidence-based approach to the evaluation and care of hospitalized adult medical patients at Kern Medical and Adventist Health Bakersfield, and patients encountered in ambulatory settings.

Overview The faculty, fellows and resident physicians of Kern Medical are dedicated, enthusiastic and committed to the education of our medical students. Our faculty consider the time and experience on our clerkships very valuable, and strive to enhance the learning environment for all. Students participate in educational programs that meet accreditation standards set by their respective medical schools. Currently, Kern Medical offers the following core clerkships:

This rotation really helped strengthen my clinical judgement and patient care skills. I loved the team dynamic and learning about both inpatient and ambulatory. – Valerie E., Medical Student The patient population is very diverse, leading to challenging cases and rare disease pathologies. I couldn’t have asked for a better IM core rotation. – Christine G., Medical Student This rotation really gives you a feel of what it’s like to be a resident.

Obstetrics & Gynecology

Surgery

The Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship rotation exposes students to women’s health, both in the ambulatory and inpatient setting. This clerkship offers students hands-on experience in both labor and delivery and gynecological care. Students will care for a spectrum of the most common diseases and health conditions, and an equally complex diversity of healthcare needs and clinical situations. They will be exposed to care for a variety of medical treatments and surgical procedures mastered by the general gynecologist and obstetrician to treat four deeply complex sub-specialties:

The Surgery Clerkship rotation is designed to maximize time and exposure in both General and Subsurgical specialties. Students are exposed to a vast array of pathology that constitutes a general surgery practice and participate in all aspects of inpatient and outpatient care. Students are encouraged to review the patients’ complaints and symptoms, their pertinent past medical history and physical exam, laboratory and diagnostic exams (including radiographic films), and make recommendations for treatment. Should surgery be offered, students are prepared to assist, and know the basic principles of Pre-Operative and Post-Operative care. Students in the ambulatory setting will learn to develop a care plan for the appropriate operation to be performed and demonstrate their ability to formulate a pre operative/post-operative assessment and plan. Fourth year medical students have the opportunity to experience increased levels of hands-on patient care on the inpatient setting, operating room, and ambulatory clinics. Rotations available to these students include:

Good and direct communication with attendings. Intraoperative teaching and the privilege to assist with multiple surgeries. – Lea U., Medical Student Fantastic attendings and great exposure to a variety of surgical specialties. Students are allowed to scrub in and sometimes be the first assistant. – Hua T., Medical Student The subspecialty rotations were very involved and had a lot of learning and hands on experiences. – Samantha R., Medical Student interactions

• High-risk O bstetrics ( P erinatology/ M aternal F etal M edicine) • Gynecologic O ncology • Reproductive E ndocrinology and I nfertility • Urogynecology Very hands on, didactics are extremely helpful. The learning opportunities are immense. – Uyi A., Medical Student Very well organized and many opportunities for hands on experience.

Psychiatry

The Psychiatry Clerkship introduces students to the care of inpatient and ambulatory psychiatric patients. Students gain competency in the basic assessment and management of the psychiatric patient through the ability to understand and treat psychopathology, learn interview techniques, understand diagnostic criteria used to diagnose psychiatric disorders, and to develop an understanding of the psychopharmacology involved. Rotations in this core clerkship are designed to allow adequate exposure to psychiatry patients of all ages including child/adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients.

This rotation was great because it truly prepared students for their SHELF and Step 2 CK Exams. From the willingness of the physicians to teach to the schedule of didactics, I feel that it set students up for success. – Christian S., Medical Student I was able to see a variety of patients with many psychiatric conditions. The attendings and residents are open for questions and are willing to teach. – Lan N., Medical Student The faculty were the friendliest, all were willing to teach and accommodating to students. It was by far the best clinical experience I've ever had. – Eloy A., Medical Student
