CLINIC 1 Program Provides Students with Hands-On Experiences

Through the newly developed CLINIC 1 program at the University of South Alabama College of Medicine, first-year medical students are now able to gain hands-on clinical experiences as they partner with local family medicine, pediatric and internal medicine practitioners.

“The CLINIC 1 program is beneficial because it gives us a chance to apply concepts we learned in clinical skills in a practical setting,” said Jazmin Scott, a second-year student at the USA College of Medicine. “We have really great preceptors who want to teach us and answer our questions, and it is a great opportunity to get experience without the stress of being graded. You are just there to learn.”

The program stresses patient-centered care and partners with medical professionals with a penchant for physician development and education. Watch the video below to learn more about CLINIC 1.
