Clinic Corner: Ambulatory

Contributed by Daniella Zipkin

Attention Interns! Time to declare your interest in the ACLT!

Ambulatory Care Leadership Track brief one-page application form attached!

Do you think you will work in a clinic environment one day, whether gen med or subspecialty? Do you want to learn how to have an impact on health policy and use your voice to improve patient care? Please consider being a part of the ACLT. Founded in 2012, It is an elective track for second and third year internal medicine residents which serves as a foundation for careers as leaders in academic medicine subspecialties, primary care, research, or education. Residents come together during twelve ambulatory weeks per year of ambulatory clinical time and weekly academic seminars, including:

• Advocacy and health policy seminars given by faculty in government relations and health policy throughout the year, with an advocacy trip in the spring to either Washington DC or Raleigh, NC, alternating years. Residents create a platform based on issues they wish to address as a group and meet directly with lawmakers at the state and national level to present their views.
• Seminars in population health and practice management
• Curricula in teaching and opportunities for small group teaching as a senior resident
• Each block also includes General Internal Medicine Journal Club, presented by residents with support from EBM teaching faculty.

Access to all the clinical opportunities during ambulatory blocks, including: sports medicine, women’s health, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, palliative care, integrative medicine, pain medicine, obesity medicine, gen med, as well as all medicine subspecialties

ACLT residents have gone on to fellowships/careers in cardiology, endocrinology, general medicine, geriatrics, hematology-oncology, infectious disease, nephrology, rheumatology, sports medicine.

Current ACLT residents:
SARs – Megan Gillum, Kelly Ground, Jared Lowe, Leah Machen, Maggie Moses, Sarah Nouri, Annie Reihman, Caroline Sloan, Meghan Steiner

JARs – Ryan Anderson, Joe Plaksin, Ben Ranard, Jasmine Washington

Med Psych – Sarah Nelson, Nicole Helmke, Johnny Komisar, Colin Smith

Ambulatory Curriculum Mission
Big topics are being discussed across all the divisions and a revamp of our approach to ambulatory teaching is coming soon. Please let Dani or Dinushika know if you’d like to get involved or share your thoughts and ideas.

From the Chief Residents
