Clerkship comprises the last two years of the University of Toronto four year MD program. Clerkship is an integrated learning experience that further develops the knowledge, skills and professional attitudes introduced to medical students in preclerkship/foundations. During clerkship, medical students learn to care for patients through practical application in clinical settings both in hospital, at community-based clinics and doctors’ offices as part of a health care team. Students in this classification are involved in direct patient care and function as a part of our patients’ health care team.
