This past week, we had a Ross alumni come to give a presentation. She went on to explain how us Ross students are at an advantage when it comes to clinical rotations. As opposed to our U.S. medical school colleagues, we are exposed to clinical medicine much earlier. We also have those extra six weeks of advanced intro to clinical medicine (AICM) after our four or five semesters in Dominica are finished. By the time we enter our rotations, we will be exposed to more than stateside students.
This semester our clinical activities involve having a standardized patient come in while two students practice interviewing this patient. At the conclusion of the interview, the whole group of about 8 students brainstorm a list of possible diagnosis based on the results of the patient interview.
