Participating in EHHOP during PhD years
Participating in EHHOP has been a productive way for PhD-phase students to stay engaged with clinical medicine, better prepare themselves for 3rd year, and provide an important service for the community during this phase. There are a number of opportunities for involvement, outlined below. Students can participate in a number of diverse auxiliary roles (Pharmacy, Nutrition corps, Access to Care Team, Research Team), but here we focus on the roles that involve working as a Senior Clinican:
Basics of the SC role
Requirements:
- Have finished MS2 and passed Step 1
- Attend SC training night(s) in the Spring each year
Role:

- in short, see 1-2 patients independently per clinic day, present to an attending preceptor, write notes.
Chronic Care proram
