Overview

The Department of Medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine is seeking an organized and energetic Associate Clerkship Director. This position involves working with the Statewide Clerkship Director, and the regional site leaders to facilitate the learning experiences and assessment of medical students during their internal medicine clinical clerkship.

The Department of Medicine is the largest department in the largest US medical school with over 700 faculty members. Each year, we host 370 medical students in their 8-week long Internal Medicine clerkship over 9 campus sites throughout the state. We mentor students from all campus in the planning of their 4th year and as they prepare for residency applications, interviews and match rankings.

The associate clerkship directors will collaborate with the clerkship director in the development, delivery and assessment of the clerkship’s curriculum, effectiveness as a whole, and effectiveness of participating campuses across the state. They will assist individual medical students in performing at their best, including strengthening particular knowledge, professionalism, and skills, along with career mentoring and advising. This position is located in Indianapolis.
