Internal Medicine Clinical Rotations

Internal Medicine offered at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle

During the medicine-sub I, students perform as an intern resident on a unit-based medicine wards team. This experience is designed to enhance a student's management skills and knowledge within internal medicine, as well as provide autonomy with patient care under the guidance and support of a team of residents and an attending hospitalist. Students are responsible for following their own patients daily and formulating and carrying out the daily plan of care. There are several unique aspects of this sub-internship including high acuity of patient care and robust learning on a Progressive Care floor. The student will see a wide variety of complex conditions including acute respiratory failure, sepsis, alcohol withdrawal, and GI bleeding. Didactic sessions include noon conference, case reports, resident lead teaching and pulmonary rounds on the unit. Additionally, the sub-intern is expected to present a patient case at noon conference at the end of their rotation.

Available fourth year, 4-week rotation dates: Dates for 2026 coming soon
