Ten to twelve Columbia University medical students see patients under the supervision of CFCM faculty physicians Dr. Jim Spears or Dr. Susan Bowers-Johnson, with additional support from Family Medicine residents. To ensure continuity for students and patients, the same group of medical students, residents and attending physician commit to working at the clinic on a near weekly basis, with plenty of time for each patient encounter, and for students to take extensive social histories, which often lead to referrals for social services.
