Longitudinal Clinical Experience

The longitudinal clerkship enabled me to maintain basic clinical skills during the graduate years and also gave me contacts, which are especially advantageous now that I am applying to residency programs. In particular, I spent one semester in a TB Outpatient Clinic, which greatly enhanced and reinforced the clinical application of my research project.

During their graduate training phase, our MD/PhD students have the opportunity to spend a half-day per week with a physician mentor of their choice. Taken in half-year or full-year blocks, students can earn up to 8 weeks of clinical elective time. The goal of the longitudinal clerkship is to maintain clinical skills, to explore unique areas of interest and mentorship, and experience research and clinical roles at the same time. Faculty who have agreed to serve as LCE mentors are listed below, however, students are welcome to seek experiences with other faculty.
