Clerkship Offerings - Annual Review

Each winter, clerkship offerings at the School of Medicine (SoM) must be reviewed to ensure that the SoM Clerkship Catalog is accurate for incoming clinical students who will enter the Draw in February. Records are reviewed to accurately reflect continuing, new, and retired clerkships.  

The annual clerkship review is conducted by the SoM Registrar’s Office (medregistrar@stanford.edu) for review by the Assistant Registrar, Courses and the Associate Director of Clerkship Administration. The process for reviewing records begins in January. Clerkship directors are contacted to indicate needed updates that will be made to the Navigate Classes course catalog. Changes are made in time for the Draw, when incoming clinical students select and set their clerkship schedules for the upcoming two years.

Every effort is made to finalize clerkship data prior to the Draw. However, unexpected changes do occur after the Draw has taken place. Any such changes are communicated by email to medregistrar@stanford.edu for the information in to be updated in Navigate Classes and MEP (Medical Education Platform).
