FAMED 688: Family Medicine Sub-Internship
UW Student Registration Protocol

Please follow these steps to register for a sub-internship in family medicine for 2012-13 academic year:

1. Register for the Sub-I, as with any other course, on E-Value during the regularly scheduled registration period.

REGISTRATION NOTES: Because residencies require timely registration information, enrolling in a Family Medicine Sub I is slightly different from other fourth year electives. Please note the following:

A. Rank sites you where you would seriously consider rotating.

B. Consider the following when considering a rotation time block:

a. The first three rotations time blocks (July, August and September) are highly sought after and you will likely have to rank the rotation as one of your top choices in E-Value.


b. To guarantee your rotation will be included in your MSTP/Dean's letter you will need to rotate in either the July or August. It is possible that September Sub I's can also be included in your MSTP/Dean's letter. This will be determined primarily upon the timeliness of which we receive your evaluation from the site. Contact Toby Keys tkeys@fammed.washington.edu in the Department of Family Medicine for more details.


c. If your priority is doing a Sub I rotation at a particular site before a potential residency interview, we suggest requesting the rotation in the October, November and December time blocks. These time blocks tend to be less competitive.


C. Shortly after the registration period closes in February, you will be contacted by Taylor Trippe from the Department of Family Medicine to offer you a Sub I rotation slot. Unlike other fourth year courses, you will need to quickly commit to the rotation that is offered to you. PLEASE NOTE: You will have two days to decide whether or not to commit to this rotation once you have been offered you a rotation opportunity.

2. IF, after the schedules are released, you decide that you would like to a Sub-I experience:
   A. Visit the network’s program overview page and choose the program in which you are interested.
   B. Contact the program directly by using the information listed at the bottom of each residency description page.
   C. Obtain agreement including the dates of the Sub-I from the program in the form of an e-mail that can be forwarded to:
   Taylor Trippe: ttrippe@fammed.washington.edu.
   D. Once you have permission from the program and Taylor Trippe in the Department of Family Medicine, contact the registrar to sign up for the course.

   **Residencies depend on reliable student schedules. Therefore, as a professional courtesy, you should not drop this course unless there are considerable extenuating circumstances. Should you need to drop the course, you must first gain permission from Taylor Trippe in the Department of Family Medicine.
