DC Health Equity LIC
Background
The DC Health Equity Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (DC LIC) was started at Georgetown University School of Medicine as a pilot in Spring 2022 with an initial cohort of 6 students. In Spring 2023, this 20-week longitudinal clerkship was approved by the COME and can accept up to 12 students per year or 6 students per semester. In addition to the DC LIC, the Department of Family Medicine, administers the Baltimore LIC based at MedStar Franklin Square, in Baltimore, MD.
What is an LIC?
A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) is a model of medical student training for clinical students designed to highlight continuity of care and longer-term educational experiences. They have been used all over the world and are increasingly common in US medical schools. CLIC – The Consortium of Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships – is a network of medical educators who are involved in longitudinal clerkships at universities around the globe.
What is the DC Health Equity LIC?
This 20-week program is designed for third-year medical students to care for the whole patient with an emphasis on health equity. Students learn the disciplines of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and psychiatry simultaneously while caring for patients in medically underserved settings. This LIC replaces the student’s equivalent block rotations.
