Sheboygan Fourth-Year Preceptorship in Internal Medicine

The MD Program at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in Madison offers a fourth-year internal medicine preceptorship with Curtis Hancock, MD, and Bryan Schmitt, MD, in Sheboygan.

The Aurora Sheboygan Clinic is a multispecialty clinic with five general internists and over a dozen medicine subspecialists. Sheboygan is on Lake Michigan with an excellent public library, art center and other recreational activities such as bicycling, hiking and cross-country skiing.

Both preceptors start their day at 7:30am at the hospital and see patients at the office from 8am until 5pm. The preceptorship includes one-half day weekly in nursing homes and one or two days with a specialist, depending on student preference. Up to 10 days can also be spent with hospitalists working at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center.

Students use the Aurora-wide Cerner Millennium EMR and dictate notes with a digital dictation system, which are edited by the student and preceptor. Housing is an upstairs apartment on a quiet residential street about one and one-half miles from the clinic and two miles from the hospital.
