Experience?

We offer third and fourth year medical students outstanding Family Medicine
clerkship experiences at JFRMP. We have been the recipient of the
Uniformed Services University prestigious Medical Student Coordinator of the
Year Award on several occasions, most recently in 2008. This award is
selected from all clerkship sites, not just Family Medicine. This
award reflects our ongoing commitment to medical student education and to
the desire to make your rotation with us a valuable, personable experience.
You will be assigned faculty and resident preceptors who will mentor and
teach you throughout your rotation. You will have weekly dedicated didactic
sessions with a faculty member, covering a variety of clinical topics. You will
attend the daily educational Morning Report and the Thursday afternoon CME
conference.
Third Year Clerkship in Family
Medicine
The 3rd year clerkship is meant to expose you to the full breadth
of family medicine, and to assist you in developing solid clinical problem
solving skills that are the foundation to becoming a highly competent physician.
Additionally you gain experience in working within a Military Health Facility,
and utilizing the Department of Defense’s Electronic Medical Record, AHLTA.
As a third year medical student you will work on-one-one with our faculty and
residents, seeing patients in our Family Medicine Center. You will see the full
spectrum of family medicine: you’ll provide prenatal care to an expectant
mother; well child care to infants and children; acute and routine care to young
men and women; and geriatric care to our retiree population. You will be exposed
to the whole gamut of preventive health maintenance. You will participate in a
range of procedures performed by family physicians including skin excisions,
vasectomies, exercise treadmills and obstetrical ultrasounds. Our procedure
clinics are traditionally a highlight for our 3rd year students.
In addition to a comprehensive outpatient experience you will also have the
opportunity to participate in inpatient medicine and inpatient obstetrics from a
Family Medicine perspective.
Fourth Year Clerkship in Family Medicine
We encourage medical students who are considering our program for residency
training to join us for a fourth year rotation. We offer
Sub-Internships, outpatient clerkships or a combination of inpatient and
outpatient. A fourth year rotation gives you the opportunity to
experience the culture of the program and get to know the people you may be
working with in the future. As in the 3rd year clerkship, you will be
assigned a resident and faculty preceptor who will be your primary
mentors.
This rotation can be tailored to your needs and interests. It may be an
Inpatient Medicine experience, where you function as an intern on a team of
residents and attendings, caring for adult and pediatric patients admitted to
the wards and ICU. It may be an outpatient month, working under the supervision
of residents and faculty in the clinic. This would be similar to the third year
clerkship, but you would be given more opportunities to make decisions in the
care of patients you are seeing. You can also make the rotation a combined
inpatient and outpatient experience.
Other Rotation Opportunities
Our hospital has a range of other specialties that support elective medical
student rotations. Neurology, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine, Orthopedics and
Psychiatry are just a few of the many rotations that medical students have
enjoyed coming to Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Please contact our GME
Coordinator to find out more about elective rotations.

To our
prospective residents, thank you for considering our Family Medicine
residency.
Naval Hospital Jacksonville (NHJ) located along the beautiful banks of the
St. Johns River in Jacksonville, Florida, is home to the Jax Family Medicine
Residency Program.
It is the oldest and largest residency program in the Navy. Established
in 1963 as a General Practice Residency Training Program and revamped in 1969 to
reflect the emergence of the Family Practice movement, our program was one of
the first to be accredited in the country.
Jax Family Medicine, as it is called today, has a solid tradition of
graduating outstanding Family Physicians who practice the full spectrum of
Family Medicine from delivering newborns to caring for our oldest patients and
everyone in between.
Our highly-qualified faculty maintains an outstanding commitment to resident
education, making it a highly supportive place to learn. Our goal is to prepare
you to be a caring, compassionate leader who will make a difference in the
military communities you serve.
The JFMRP curriculum includes specialized training that is rooted in
evidence-based medicine with an emphasis on health promotion and disease
prevention. During specialty rotations through multiple disciplines, our
residents are taught to perform a wide array of procedures. These include
minor surgeries such as neonatal circumcisions and vasectomies, as well as minor
skin procedures, colposcopies, exercise treadmills and Advanced Trauma Life
Support protocols among many others.
Residents are an integral part of the health care team that puts the patient
at the team’s center for improved communication, patient compliance and better
outcomes. In addition, our commitment to service excellence instills
patient trust, loyalty and satisfaction.
Upon graduation, our Family Physicians competently provide medical care to
patients of all ages, anytime, anywhere. Whether it be at a Naval Military
Treatment Facility, on the battlefield or assisting with disaster relief, our
graduates are prepared for every challenge.
Our Family Physicians do more
things and go more places than any other specialists in the Navy.
We invite you to navigate our Web site to learn more about our exceptional
program. Please arrange an interview if you are considering us for residency
training. Better yet, come join us for a medical student rotation and see why
we think JFMRP is the Navy’s premier Family Medicine residency program.
