A Review of Longitudinal Community and Hospital Placements in Medical Education
Summary
Traditionally, clinical learning for medical students consists of short-term and opportunistic encounters with primarily acute-care patients, supervised by a range of clinician preceptors. In response to educational concerns, some medical schools have developed longitudinal placements. These placements are integrated across the core clinical disciplines, (known as longitudinal integrated clerkships or LICs) and often take place in rural locations.
