Data in Brief: Variability in Core Clerkship Structure and Grading Systems

Data in Brief highlights key results gathered by recent Alliance research surveys. Watch for a monthly email with new featured results.

This month’s Data in Brief presents internal medicine core clerkship structure by grading systems and by medical school classification (public and private), based on results from the 2023 CDIM Annual Survey of Clerkship Directors. Although 74% of clerkships report use of a traditional block, the remainder use a longitudinal integrated clerkship, shared block, or different combinations of all three models. Despite the variability in those models, they are about equally distributed by clerkship grading system and by medical school classification. 

Contact surveys@im.org if you have any questions about the results below or any of the annual surveys.
