Clinical Contact Experience

 
   
The Clinical and Community Experiences (CCE) Program is an integral part of the clinical skills course for first-and second-year students at OU-HCOM. The program is directed by Robert Woodworth, DO, MPH and coordinated by Sarah McGrew, BSN. The goals of the program are to:
  1. Involve medical students in a variety of clinical environments and medical practices.
  2. Provide medical students with opportunities to interact with physicians, nurses, other health care providers and patients in various health care settings.
  3. Enhance medical student’s awareness of the cultural, economic and social issues that affect health care delivery and health behavior.
  4. Support the development of clinical and psychosocial skills relevant to the course of study.
  5. Integrate knowledge acquired at a CCE site with that acquired in the other components of the curriculum.
  6. Reinforce the relevance of knowledge, skills, and attitudes learned in various components of the first two years of the curriculum.

Clinical and Community Experience (CCE) assignments involve working with physician preceptors and community-based health care providers in a variety of settings. Additional opportunities for Clinical Contact Experience may be available during the curricular breaks. CCEs may be scheduled for evenings or weekends. SOME CCEs WILL REQUIRE TRAVEL, SO RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION IS REQUIRED. Dress requirements are the same as for other patient contact experiences.  
   
All students are required to have current immunizations to participate in the CCE Program. It is each individual student's responsibility to meet this requirement.
