Clerkship Administrators

Clerkship administrators (CAs) play an important role in the success of internal medicine clerkships. To promote career development for these individuals, the Clerkship Directors in Internal Medicine (CDIM) sponsors numerous activities for CAs. These activities provide opportunities for CAs to discuss emerging topics, share best practices, and network with colleagues.
