Performance Criteria for the Fourth-Year Medical Student - This table outlines the criteria for the performance of the fourth year medical student during his or her internal medicine sub-internship. Developed by the CDIM Sub-I task force, the criteria are based on consensus and focus group discussions. These criteria have been developed to help the clerkship director develop curriculum and evaluation for the sub-internship. These are not a requirement by CDIM to be adopted at any institution.
