Elective & Sub-Internship Clerkships


The following list of elective and sub-internship clerkships is designed to provide students with clinical exposure, observation and training to further their understanding within a selected area of interest as specified in the course title. These experiences take place in a wide variety of clinical, office and hospital settings presenting unique opportunities with regard to the spectrum of clinical situations encountered. Learning is enhanced with specific goals and learning objectives.

Sub-internships are restricted to fourth-year students and are designed to provide the student with an increased level of patient care responsibility. Students serve as the primary care provider under the direct supervision of the attending physician or faculty and may perform simple diagnostic procedures. Training focuses on self-education and includes more advanced study of the discipline. Sub-internships must be completed as full-block experiences.

Electives are generally completed as full-block experiences and are typically awarded four semester credits. Up to three fourth-year elective blocks may be completed as two, two-week elective clerkships (minimum of 10 business days per experience) and be awarded two semester credits for each experience. All other electives and required clinical clerkships must be full block experiences.

Descriptions for all courses are provided in the Course Descriptions section.
