Continuity Clinics

In July 2008, General Internal Medicine and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC began a combined Med-Peds continuity clinic for residents located in nearby Turtle Creek, Pennsylvania. The site already had a well-established pediatric practice in a branch of the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh Primary Care Centers. Our patient population served is a mix of ethnic/racial groups and socioeconomic statuses. We have robust panel of patients of all ages. In their continuity clinic, our residents see equal numbers of adults and children over the course of the year.

Our residents hold their continuity clinic one afternoon a week (for example, every Wednesday). A Med-Peds ambulatory-based pre-clinic conference is conducted by residents and the preceptor as a group 30 minutes before clinic patients are scheduled. The curriculum covers topics important for the ambulatory med-peds physician and includes vaccinations, tobacco cessation, weight management, hypertension, outpatient diabetic care, colic, and anticipatory guidance. Residents precept their patients with med-peds and pediatrics faculty whose sole responsibility for the half-day is to teach and supervise residents in their clinics.

Our residents do not have clinic during medicine or pediatric intensive care unit rotations or coronary care unit rotation. Beginning in 2014, our residents will have no continuity clinic while on inpatient medicine wards, aligning with the 4+4 block schedule the internal medicine residency has adopted.
