The Office of Medical Education (OME) with the University of Colorado's School of Medicine (SOM) is searching for an OB/GYN Liaison for the UCH LIC site, supporting students at the UCH, CHCO, VA, and Community Health LIC sites. The School of Medicine's Office of Medical Education has transitioned the core clinical curriculum into an LIC model, as part of a larger scale full curriculum overhaul. Core clinical education will occur in a longitudinal, integrated fashion primarily in an outpatient setting, with targeted hospital-based training called immersions placed during the core clinical year. Core competencies will be taught encompassing care of adults, children, and pregnant patients taught by providers representing the disciplines of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, surgery, and emergency medicine. A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) was created based on three foundational characteristics of an effective, core clinical educational environment:
- Student participation in comprehensive care of patients over time
- Presence of a continuous, learning relationship with those patients' clinicians
- Meeting a majority of core clinical competencies in an ongoing, continuous fashion through those experiences
