The Greater Miami Health Education and Training Center (GMHETC) also provides a 12-week -Advance Introduction to Clinical
Medicine (AICM) course for 3rd Year Medical Students who are enrolled in medical schools accredited by the Liaison Committee
on Medical Education (LCME) and/or are enrolled in international medical schools that are licensed to conduct medical clerkship
activities in the State of Florida. Students may attend rounds, conferences, and shadow residents and attending physicians at
affiliated clinical training sites. The program offers an excellent opportunity for medical students to develop clinical skills and to
learn about culturally competent approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of disease among patients from various ethnic and
cultural backgrounds.
Purpose and Objectives:
The Training offered by GMHETC is designed to introduce students to the practice of clinical medicine. At the end of the nine
week training course, the medical student will:
a) have learned patient interview and physical examination techniques.
b) have obtained basic skills in conducting physical examinations and writing patient reports
c) be informed about culturally competent approaches to diagnosing patients’ problems and providing care and treatment.
Program components:
Clinical Training: Under the Program, students are placed in GMHETC-affiliated sites (hospitals/outpatient clinics) under the
supervision of qualified physicians licensed to practice medicine in the State of Florida. At these sites, students interact with
patients, conduct physical examinations and receive guidance from the GMHETC-affiliated physicians.
Lectures/Conferences:
Students are also required to attend conferences and lectures as part of their clinical training. These lectures may cover special
medical cases, as well as presentations by students and group discussions.
Evaluation:
At the end of the training period, physicians/instructors who have trained students evaluate the trainees who have been placed
under their supervision. After completion, these evaluation forms will then be sent to the Dean of the Medical School attended by
the student. Students will also be asked to fill out an evaluation form documenting the strengths and weaknesses of their training
experience. These forms are reviewed by the GMHETC Board and used to upgrade future training.
