Norris TE et al. - This study documents the increasing use of longitudinal integrated clerkships and provides initial insights for institutions that may wish to develop similar clinical programs. Further study will be needed to assess the long-term impact of these programs on medical education and workforce initiatives.

| Medical schools have traditionally taught clinical medicine through a sequence of clerkships in key medical specialties. This paper documents the growing worldwide use of longer term clerkships that feature integration of the key specialties. The integration is accomplished by utilizing either a long term assignment of a student to a primary care practice, or by creating an integrated schedule for the student consisting of time spent each week in multiple specialty settings. Overall the experience with longitudinal integrated clerkships has been positive, but more research is needed on several aspects of the programs. |
