Elective Clerkship

Course Description

This elective course offers students a broad array of potential clerkships that foster growth of professional knowledge, skills, attitude, and habits through direct patient/client care experiences, pedagogical, and/or research training opportunities. The engaged learning experiences that students may participate in are many and diverse. Students are assigned to a faculty member who provides direction in shaping objectives of the clerkship. Faculty will also be responsible for organizing individualized learning activities that contribute to the student achieving their identified goals for the experience. For clerkships that entail patient/client care, students will be assigned to a preceptor who supervises related duties. Students may also pursue pedagogical or research training opportunities to prepare them for a potential career as a clinician-educator or clinician-scientist through this clerkship. The course provides opportunities to augment critical thinking skills via deliberate active learning exercises, and hands-on activities. The role of the elective is to provide experiences that enrich and expand knowledge to help prepare students for choosing and succeeding in the professional practice setting or advanced training program of their choice.
