Clerkship Electives

9 credits · Medicine Programs

During these mandatory 16 weeks of clerkship, clerks will choose electives from the range of potential medical domains. Sixteen weeks of mandatory elective time must be completed during the clerkship year with a minimum of two weeks on any one elective block. Clerks will spend one week each in Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Community Engaged Learning (CEL) electives. In IPE, students will spend time with one or more allied health professionals to better understand the role that these individuals play in the multidisciplinary health care system. In CEL, students will be exposed to community partner organizations that serve disadvantaged groups in society. Students will be exposed to concepts in didactic sessions related to health care inequality and social disadvantage; students will then complete time working with a partner organization to see how these factors affect community members.
