The last five or six trimesters, eighty (80) weeks consists of sixty-eight (68) weeks of core clerkships: Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, General Surgery, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Psychiatry, Emergency Medicine and Community Medicine, and twelve (12) weeks of electives. The purpose of the clinical sciences curriculum is to train the medical student to apply the concepts and principles that are important in health and disease and that constitute the basis of safe and effective patient care. As stated by the USMLE, St. Luke's goal is: To provide the medical knowledge and understanding of clinical sciences considered essential for the providing patient care under supervision, including emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention. Our curriculum for clinical science rotations is centered on the Content Description for USMLE Step 2 and the Clinical Skills Assessment Examination given by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates. Clerkships are available for students for all clinical science students in the United States, Liberia, India and other countries. Additionally, all students who are able to obtain visas for entry into the United States are encouraged to do at least two semesters of clinical rotations in United States hospitals. |
