Description

During these mandatory 16 weeks of clerkship, clerks will choose electives from the range of potential medical domains. Sixteen weeks of mandatory elective time must be completed during the clerkship year with a minimum of two weeks on any one elective block.

Clerks will spend one week each in Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Community Engaged Learning (CEL) electives. In IPE, students will spend time with one or more allied health professionals to better understand the role that these individuals play in the multidisciplinary health care system. In CEL, students will be exposed to community partner organizations that serve disadvantaged groups in society. Students will be exposed to concepts in didactic sessions related to health care inequality and social disadvantage; students will then complete time working with a partner organization to see how these factors affect community members.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
