Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs)

LICs offer students the opportunity to work with and follow patients over an extended period of time; developing an appreciation for continuity of care while completing the majority of their core clinical competencies over multiple disciplines. LICs allow for continuity of relationships with patients, preceptors and the health care system which can allow for a rich education into multiple areas of medicine.
