The Rural Health Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) is a program designed to address the physician shortage in rural areas. It is 42-week rotation — comprised of weekly interactive learning sessions and clinical experiences.
LIC students are enrolled in four sequential courses. Integrated specialty training takes place in Payson, Arizona, while a three-week inpatient pediatric clinical burst takes place at teaching hospitals in Phoenix at the beginning or the end of the experience. Its placement in the academic calendar depends on UArizona College of Medicine – Phoenix scheduling requirements.
