The Internal Medicine sub-internship is a four-week inpatient rotation and fulfills the School of Medicine Module Five sub-internship requirement. This rotation is required for all students applying for internal medicine residency.
Students rotate on a general medicine service at one of the following hospitals: Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC), Philadelphia VA Medical Center (VAMC), or Pennsylvania Hospital (PAH). During this rotation, students assume the role of an intern with primary responsibility for four to six patients. Students assigned to the VA will replace an intern.
The goals of the rotation are to help students hone their history, physical exam, clinical problem solving skills, and focus on patient evaluation and management. Students are supervised closely by attendings and residents and are part of an inter-professional team.
