Core competencies will be taught encompassing care of adults, children, and pregnant patients taught by providers representing the disciplines of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, surgery, and emergency medicine.

A longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) was created based on three foundational characteristics of an effective, core clinical educational environment:

• (1) Student participation in comprehensive care of patients over time

• Close collaboration with Clinical Core Director (CCD) to ensure LIC students are achieving competency and comparability in all required domain aspects required by the clerkship.
• Develop all specialty-specific didactic content in conjunction with CCD and Basic Science Content Directors.
• Facilitate/teach specialty-specific didactic sessions over the course of the year (or recruit faculty speakers).
• Assist with the regular assessment of students including direct observation, identification of students who need support, collaboration with CCD on remediation plans, gathering of assessments and feedback from all supervisors working with students, creating summary reports of student progress, and participation in grading meetings.
• Assist with the administration of the LIC programs at the LIC site as needed.
