OUTPATIENT CLINICS
CMC-Myers Park
All patients in the continuity clinic practice are seen at CMC-Myers Park, which is located less than a mile from CMC-Main. A shuttle rotates between the clinic and the hospital every 20 minutes, and physicians park in a covered lot with key-card entry. Subspecialty medicine and general medicine clinics are located on the 3rd floor, as well as an overflow clinic for urgent work-in patients. CMC-Myers Park also houses clinics in Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, and Orthopaedic Surgery.

Subspecialty clinics
House officers on subspecialty rotations attend one to two subspecialty clinics per week.

Each subspecialty clinic session lasts approximately four hours and is supervised by an attending subspecialist. There are no subspecialty clinic duties during the rotations on staff medicine, MICU and ED.
