ICC Infographic
This infographic describes Integrated Community Clerkships (ICC) in year 3 of UBC’s UGME.
ICC embeds students in different BC communities to learn about comprehensive patient care through longitudinal relationships with patients and preceptors.
The ICC has become a successful and innovative model of undergraduate clinical education, a model that is endorsed and implemented by medical schools all over the world.
ICC Breakfast Club
Four times per academic year ICC faculty are invited to discuss a teaching topic and have seasoned preceptors share their perspectives on how to apply it.
The aim of these sessions is to develop a learning community and they are accredited. Session recordings and/or resources will be posted for all past sessions.

A Day in the Life of a Preceptor
This is a novel program that has been developed by family physicians, for family physicians. It is structured around how teaching is typically sequenced in a community-based office.
The program covers 5 topics and involves small groups of 4-5 preceptors. Time committment is 3.5 hours every two months – 1hr live virtual session, 1hr online self-study, 1.5 hr social gathering to connect and work through cases.
Recruitment occurs in the Spring and runs over the course of a year.
