Where do Jefferson students do their second-year clinical rotations?
Our students do rotations in widely diverse clinical sites: rural and urban areas; in clinics, private practices, health department clinics, and teaching hospitals. The school is affiliated with Carilion Health Systems, a large health system in southwestern Virginia, comprising both sophisticated hospitals and rural private offices; many rotations are done through Carilion sites. We also have many established sites, both rural and urban, in other parts of Virginia, in North Carolina, West Virginia, and Tennessee. All students do a Community Medicine rotation during which they serve rural, medically underserved patients in one of three areas in southwest Virginia–Franklin County, Giles County, or Saltville, a migrant worker community.
