GIMSPP stands for General Internal Medicine Statewide Preceptorship Program. By working with an assigned physician, students will gain insight into the rewards of a practice in internal medicine, and observe how a clinician functions as a member of his or her medical and non-medical community. GIMSPP staff work to place medical students with internal medicine physicians across the state for two, three, or four week preceptorships during the student's summer break. Although the preceptorship experience differs for every student, the objectives are designed so that each student will receive a well-rounded experience. The program’s emphasis is to familiarize medical students with the operation of a clinical practice and allow them to experience the full range of activities in the life of a General Internist. During this preceptorship students can develop skills in history taking, physical examination, early diagnosis, and treatment plan formulation, among others.
First- and second-year students enrolled in a Texas medical school are eligible to participate, if they have not participated in GIMSPP previously.
Tips , Tricks, and Things to Know
- The more flexible your dates and locations, the easier it is for a match! We rely on volunteer preceptors and we work within their availability. We recommend listing the widest possible known availability at the time of application - you can always adjust your preferences later!
- We do not match based on subspecialty requests. All of our volunteer preceptors practice at least 40% general internal medicine. We do not accommodate requests for placement in a particular subspecialty.
- Make sure the email address you provide is one you check regularly! GIMSPP communicates primarily via email. A good email address is critical to not missing information about your match!
- If you have changes to your application, please email us right away.
- GIMSPP students and preceptors will have a post-program evaluation and outcome project. You can find the student evaluation here on this page closer to the summer.
