Dermatology Modules: A set of web-based modules have been developed to build on students' knowledge of common skin conditions encountered in practice.

Students are assessed on their performance in the FMC and in the community setting largely on the basis of the quality of their clinical assessment of patients and the professional manner in which they carry out their responsibilities. Students are graded as either Pass or Fail on each of the 4 components of the Family Medicine Clerkship (Family Medical Centre 2-week block, community 4-week block , the project, and the end of rotation examination). Students must pass all four. A failure in any one aspect will constitute a failure of the rotation. If granted remediation, the remediation will be tailored to the particular learning needs of the clerk.
You are required to return to the Department of Family Medicine office at 9:00am on the last Friday of your 6 week rotation (therefore this will fall on either the end of your 4 week or 2 week rotation) for an multiple choice examination based on the rotation objectives using the audience response system (clickers) followed by an exit interview with our Program Director.
You will be given an outline of your project on the first day of your 2 week Family Medical Centre rotation. This project must be completed by the last day of this 2-wk rotation (a 10 min. verbal presentation of your project to the preceptor, with or without the preceptor's team is also mandatory during this 2-wk rotation).
You are required to complete a tracking form based on our objectives throughout the 6 week block that has to be signed by your preceptors and reviewed at your exit interview on the last Friday of your 6 week rotation. Link:
