Required Clinical Experiences (RCE)

RCE ensure that students have adequate exposure to a variety of specialty-relevant presenting complaints commonly seen in the clerkship’s clinical setting. RCEs are logged online in One45. This process tracks that students are meeting the educational goals of the clerkship.

Students MUST have logged all RCEs in One45 by the day of the clerkship’s shelf exam in order to pass the clerkship. You can read more about RCEs in our policy in the Student Handbook under Phase 2 and 3 Policies and Procedures, here.

Students will perform all components listed next to each RCE:
