This manual may be amended from time to time and that CHSU-College of Osteopathic Medicine reserves the right to revise its policies in accordance with the law. Any changes made to the Clerkship Manual will be posted as an addendum. The information contained in the Student Clerkship Manual applies to the 2023-2024 academic year.
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.
