In addition, students will work at the Beacham Center for Geriatric Medicine, an outpatient primary care practice that includes specialty clinics in osteoporosis clinic, continence, and geriatric assessment.

Clinical electives are available to Johns Hopkins School of Medicine students or those who are attending either an LCME-approved school or schools with which Johns Hopkins has a formal affiliation.
