Clerkship Administrators Position Description
“A professional and productive clerkship administrator should play a major role in the day-to-day administration of a successful medicine clerkship.”
The Clerkship Administrators Advisory Council has prepared a position description as a standard for clerkship administrators. The spectrum of responsibilities outlined illustrates the diversity of this position; it cannot be a complete description of the position. The delegation of specific curricular assignments varies widely among schools as well as among departments of internal medicine. However, clerkship directors should expect and require a capable clerkship administrator as a necessity for a successful medicine clerkship.
CDIM National Meeting
The association is pleased to offer sessions specifically designed by clerkship administrators for clerkship administrators at each CDIM National Meeting. Sessions are designed to assist clerkship administrators with the multiple demands of their position. These courses cover such areas as a providing orientation and mentorship for new clerkship administrators, implementing technology into the clerkship, developing techniques to address issues with problem students, and promoting communication within the clerkship.
