Community Outpatient Practice Experience (COPE)

Our continuity clinic is based among our community physicians. Please read the introduction below and complete the questionnaire. Your class coordinator will review your answers and furnish you with 2-3 physician’s names with whom you must set up interviews by early June. We will hold a mini-match during Orientation and announce the pairing of COPE preceptors and new interns.
