Psychiatry related information on Clinical Clerkship

The several components of a clinical clerkship were analyzed and correlated with Part II National Board scores and career choice [1].

High impact information on Clinical Clerkship

CONCLUSION: Despite their minor weighting in our grading system, NBME Subject Test scores were very highly correlated with overall clinical clerkship performance [2].
A second-year OSCE in physical diagnosis is correlated with scores on the USMLE Step 1 exam, with skills that foreshadow the clinical clerkships most predictive of USMLE scores [3].
The second study involved 135 students who had participated in the MEDP from 1981 to 1990 and who had finished their third-year clinical clerkships at UNC-CH [4].
The University of Virginia School of Medicine has developed a student-initiated, faculty-assisted system to evaluate the faculty who teach the third-year clinical clerkships [5].

Associations of Clinical Clerkship with chemical compounds

This paper describes a 6-year experience with a community project carried out in the framework of a clinical clerkship in Family and Community Medicine. The students were able to define the project, collect the data and analyse it, and frequently see the start of the implementation of the recommendations [6].
