These institutions and others fulfill clinical teaching needs by participating in one or more of the educational program components: introduction to physical diagnosis; required clerkships; elective clerkships; or special clinical educational activities. A list of required third-year clerkships and the sites where these are available is illustrative and is shown below. Students rotate to one or another of these institutions for a given clerkship experience.
