Clinical Education Coordinators
CHSU Clinical Clerkship Coordinators are the initial point of contact for all matters pertaining to clinical education and responsible for scheduling and coordinating core clerkships. The coordinators are primarily available to assist students in navigating clerkship logistics and are available to students preferably by email or by telephone during regular University business hours. Students may schedule an in-person meeting by appointment. To protect students’ privacy, the Clinical Education Department communicates information directly with the medical student, and therefore not to spouses, parents, etc.
