Clerkship SmartMatch
The Community Clinical Education staff facilitate a system whereby each student will preference their selections of various clerkship training locations and preceptors in a fair manner. As part of the process, students will be surveyed in the OMS-II year for their input into the desirability of rotation locations and educated on the upcoming process. While preferences will be considered, they are not guaranteed.
