Integration in the longitudinal ambulatory clerkship. This figure demonstrated the integration of clinical and biopsychosocial learning in the LAC. If a student were learning about cardiovascular disease in classroom work, they might see a patient with hypertension and practice a cardiovascular exam on a patient they are following longitudinally for their clinical learning event (CLE). They might observe that poor control of blood pressure is related to failure to take medications due to a lapse in insurance coverage for their biopsychosocial learning event (BLE).
