Traditionally, medical students would not start clinical patient care training until the third year of medical school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuch early longitudinal clinical experiences with positive physician role models have been shown to help students develop foundational clinical skills, self-confidence, empathy toward patients, and a sense of professional identity,\u201d said Dr. Alan Boulos. \u201cWe\u2019re grateful to our community partners who have so generously volunteered their time to help us educate the next generation of physicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The early exposure to patient care has also been shown to promote student career interest in primary care fields such as family practice, internal medicine, and pediatrics. This is of particular importance to area health organizations and the medical community as they try to meet the challenges of an ongoing shortage of primary care physicians, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>The organizations participating recognize the mutual benefit that such a strategic medical education partnership provides.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>\u201cCommunity Care Physicians has long been committed to educating the physicians and advanced care practitioners of the future both in our offices and in the Family Practice and Radiology Training programs we share with Albany Medical Center. We have been pleased to extend our collaboration to include the Longitudinal Clerkship,\u201d said Dr. Ronald V. Musto, MPH, MBA, deputy CEO and internist, Community Care Physicians. \u201cThe looming physician shortage, particularly in the Capital Region, is well known. We encourage more practices to familiarize students early in their careers not only to the rewards of practicing medicine, but of practicing medicine in the Capital Region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>First-year Albany Medical College students, who have completed the first semester of the ILC, have embraced the new clerkship as an opportunity to apply their growing medical knowledge to patient care at an early point in their education.<\/p>\n<p>Students will continue their clerkships during the first semester of their second year from August until December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSt. Peter\u2019s Health Partners Medical Associates was pleased to support Albany Medical College this year with its inaugural clerkship program for first year medical students,\u201d said Dr. William Kowal, a primary care physician with SPHP Medical Arts and the physician group\u2019s chief medical officer. \u201cDuring my time as a medical student, the impact that teachers and mentors had on my growth and development as a physician cannot be overstated. Given the current nationwide shortage of future physicians choosing to go into primary and family care, providing this cohort an opportunity to explore the many career opportunities available in this care setting was a true privilege.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new partnership between Albany Medical College and several regional health organizations provides a unique opportunity for medical students to gain early clinical exposure.
