Longitudinal Clinical Experience

As a graduate student in a very basic science field (Chemistry), I was surprised at the ability to integrate it with medicine. For example, my longitudinal clerkship in genetics gave me significant insight about the similarities of patient care and research.

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.
