Medical Student Clerkships

St. Joseph’s Medical Center and the Department of Emergency Medicine welcomes 4th year medical students to apply to our 4-week Clinical Clerkship in Emergency Medicine. We also offer clerkship rotations in ultrasonography and toxicology. Medical students will work as part of the clinical team, attend residency didactics and participate in a unique medical student education curriculum. Interested students must be in good standing and attend an LCME or AOA accredited medical school. Only students in an accredited health sciences training program are eligible to apply. We are unable to accommodate international students at this time. Clinical clerkships are not a prerequisite for acceptance into our residency programs. Students can apply for clerkship rotations through Clinician Nexus.
