Posting Detail Information
Position Summary The Department of Surgery at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences seeks a Medical Student Clerkship Coordinator to manage the day-to-day operations of undergraduate medical education clerkship program(s) and electives within the Department of Surgery. The coordinator reports to the Clerkship Director of the assigned clerkship and serves as the central liaison between students, faculty, residents, clinical sites, and administrative offices to support the effective delivery of clerkship curricula across clinical learning environments.

Key responsibilities include:
  • managing student rotation placements and schedules;
  • coordinating onboarding requirements for clinical sites;
  • maintaining didactic schedules, syllabi, course materials, UBLearns announcements, and clerkship communications;
  • coordinating clerkship simulations and OSCE rosters with the Behling Simulation Center;
  • proctoring and supporting NBME shelf examinations;
  • managing evaluations in MedHub; tracking Required Clinical Experiences (RCEs), assignments, duty-hour/clinical experience logs, and e-Passport completion;
  • assisting with final grade form preparation as appropriate; preparing data packets and reports for accreditation and annual clerkship review; and monitoring action items through completion.

The successful candidate will be a highly organized, self-directed professional who demonstrates sound judgment, confidentiality, excellent communication, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced academic clinical setting. The coordinator may serve as an early point of contact for student concerns or mistreatment reports and must route such concerns through appropriate institutional policies while maintaining confidentiality.
