Clerkship application process

The clerkship application process involves medical students applying for clinical training positions at hospitals or clinics, typically during their third or fourth year of medical school. Students submit applications, including their academic records, letters of recommendation, and personal statements, through a centralized system. They may participate in interviews to demonstrate their skills and fit for the program. Once accepted, they complete hands-on clinical rotations, gaining practical experience under supervision. The process is competitive and structured to match students with programs that best align with their interests and career goals.
