The Clerkship Year, the second stage of the MD curriculum at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, spans 10 months and begins in August. This crucial period is dedicated to developing essential clinical judgment skills for diagnosing and treating patients through hands-on experience at NYU Langone and affiliated training sites. The program starts with a one-week "Transition to Clerkship" orientation in July to prepare students for the clinical environment and their roles within healthcare teams. Following this, students engage in core clerkships from August through May, interspersed with Integrated Clinical Skills sessions. Students rotate through seven core clerkship areas: ambulatory care, general surgery, neurology, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, and psychiatry. The curriculum includes a unique one-week neuropsychiatry integrated experience. Each clerkship block is 10 weeks long and includes four weeks dedicated to elective rotations, allowing students to explore specialty interests and begin career exploration. The program aims to provide comprehensive clinical training, preparing students for future medical practice and licensing exams.
