Major Teaching Sites
We have multiple ambulatory teaching sites available to students in the Denver and surrounding communities. Students are exposed to outpatient medicine in both internal medicine and family medicine practices. They usually work with multiple faculty members during the rotation. All of the sites have received excellent teaching evaluations during the 10 years they have been in use as part of the current internal medicine clerkship and provide ample opportunities for students to see patients in the clinical setting.
- Denver Health Medical Center Eastside Clinic - serves a largely indigent population from the surrounding community, managing chronic diseases and providing some acute care for adults.
- Denver Health Medical Center Westside Clinic - serves a largely indigent population from the surrounding community, managing chronic diseases and providing some acute care for adults.

- VA Hospital Office Based Medical Team (OBMT) – serves a largely otherwise indigent population with multiple chronic medical problems.
- Presbyterian St. Luke’s (PSL) High Street Clinic – provides healthcare for a largely indigent population with a wide range of ages and illnesses, providing both acute and chronic care.
- Denver Internal Medicine (Rose Medical Center) - provides healthcare in a private practice setting for a wide variety of Denver community residents.
The following sites have previously been teaching sites for the current family medicine clerkship. These sites will now become core teaching sites for the adult ambulatory care course. These have also received consistently high ratings from students over the past 10 years as part of the Family Medicine clerkship (please see appendix A).
Students will be assigned to one primary care clinic for the duration of the 4 week course. Each student will also be assigned to one sub-specialty clinic which has a focus on chronic disease management. They will attend this clinic one half day per week for four weeks and focus on aspects of chronic disease management. Assignments will be made by the block directors and program coordinators based on the student’ expressed educational goals, with consideration given to their Foundations of Doctoring Preceptor day, site, and discipline.
