Clerkships

Students will participate in a range of clerkship activities in the Clinical Skills Center. These include pre-clerkship orientation activities, clerkship teaching activities, and clerkship specific OSCEs.

Clinical Practice Examination

Medical students participate in the Clinical Practice Examination (CPX) as a requirement for the clerkship year.  This performance assessment includes ten patient encounters, each followed by a web-based clinical-reasoning exercise.  These cases represent a varied and representative sampling of clinical scenarios and are written by Faculty.   Students receive written feedback, which highlights the student’s strengths and weaknesses in this clinical practice exam. Details regarding this examination are available by clicking here: CPX Student Instructions.
