The hospital observation internship, (80 hours during the summer between block 2 and block 3 of the BAC, first contact of students with the hospital environment).
The observation internship in General Medicine (80 hours, organized during the summer of the third year, illustrates the journey of patients whose symptoms are born at home and require first-line care)
Observation courses I to IV (from block 3 of the BAC to block 2 of the Master).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Students are expected to
- self-assess, with the help of the GP, his/her learning needs and the means to achieve them.
-acquire clinical skills by carrying out, in an increasingly AUTONOMOUS manner during the internship, under the supervision of the internship supervisor, consultations involving clinical examinations, technical procedures and therapeutic procedures (listed),
-report on the diversity characteristic of the practice of the GP during the consultations and visits carried out during your internship, by classifying the various reasons in a table provided
-Understand and report on the management of doubt during the consultations observed and conducted
-describe the organizational modalities of the GP's medical practice
-describe the GP's organization to ensure continuity of care
-identify a patient whose therapeutic adherence is not optimal, establish a plan of action to improve the patient's therapeutic adherence, describe the action taken, and report the findings after the intervention.
-observe the living environment of patients during home visits and describe what concrete actions you think it would be possible to take as a general practitioner with these patients to improve their health.
-meet with first line health professionals that your supervisor will have contacted beforehand in his own network (at least 2 providers during ½ day): physiotherapist, nurse, pharmacist, nursing home... and describe their observations
-observe and describe the communication between 1st and 2-3rd lines and describe a sumher

- Internship evaluation form completed jointly by the MOH and the student. The MOH gives a grade based on the criteria assessed.
- In addition, all assignments posted on ecampus are validated (but not graded) by a validating MOH. Formative feedback is given to the student for each activity. If the student has not met the expectations of an activity, the validator sends back feedback and the student is expected to rework the activity until the objectives are met.
The complete internship is validated if:
- The MoS internship grade is above 10/20
- The assignments are validated.
-The notice form on the internship site must be completed and mailed by the student (anonymous)
