Clerkship Rotations
During the year 3 Clerkship, undergraduate medical students at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Western University must complete a minimum of 4 weeks of clinical training in a small or mid-sized community outside of London or Windsor with the option of completing additional rotations if desired. Distributed Education offers clerkship rotations in Southwestern Ontario communities in the following specialties:
- Obstetrics & Gynecology
- Paediatrics
- Psychiatry
- Internal Medicine
- Surgery
- Emergency Medicine
Placements in other specialties can be arranged and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. There are a limited number of clerkship placements available for each block in each community. Priority for these placements will be given to students who have not yet met the curriculum requirements. Requests will then be accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis.
