Affiliations
Recognizing the importance of providing excellent clinical experiences with stimulating faculty and mentors, the School of Medicine has developed a comprehensive network of affiliations designed to encompass the continuum of medical care including ambulatory, acute hospital, home care, rehabilitation and chronic care. In all programs medical students are trained by and fully supervised by faculty of the School of Medicine, University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Over the past five years, a significant effort to coordinate, expand and improve the ambulatory care experience has resulted in an extensive ambulatory care network of opportunities. Clinical experiences are offered in multi-disciplinary teaching clinics, faculty practices, community clinics, private practices and hospital-based ambulatory care programs. Model geriatric clinical education programs, designed at three facilities with large cohorts of elderly patients, serve as stimulating educational experiences where computer-assisted learning augments the faculty preceptor/patient experience.
Academic tertiary care experience, demonstrating state-of-the-art technology and ongoing exciting clinical research, is offered at our three major affiliates: the University of Maryland Medical Center, the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center and Mercy Medical Center. Additionally, community hospitals with major commitments to the importance of a teaching environment serve as outstanding opportunities for primary and secondary health experiences.
A successful network of community, state and federal psychiatric facilities has resulted in a widely acclaimed statewide program for psychiatry training. Special clinical research experience in psychiatry is additionally offered at the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behavior and at the Perry Point Veterans Affairs Medical Center.
Experience in rehabilitation, home care and chronic medical care is offered through several facilities, each offering special aspects of expertise for those who wish to pursue psychiatry, neuro-rehabilitation and geriatrics.
