The Office of Community Clinical Education of CHSU will identify, verify, and document the qualifications of each supervising preceptor. CHSU COM and each participating hospital, clinic, or site will identify the personnel involved in the clerkship teaching programs, including administrative personnel.
Scheduling and coordination of clerkship assignments will be through the Office of Community Clinical Education. Delivery of clerkship content, structure, and evaluation will be the responsibility of the supervising preceptors and appropriate departments of the hospital or clinic as approved by CHSU COM.
On-site inspections (“site visits”) by the Community Clinical Education leadership (or appointee) will be done periodically to ensure adequate student support and oversight is available at each clerkship site.
Upon receipt of a signed affiliation agreement with a preceptor, a valid state medical license is verified via FSMB records, and preceptor qualifications potentially including current board certification or eligibility is confirmed via the AOA or NBMS.
