As part of their Clinical Microsystems Clerkship (CMC) in the Bridges Curriculum, first-year UCSF medical students spend 16 months immersed in a clinical environment, where they learn clinical skills and complete a longitudinal quality improvement project to address urgent healthcare challenges. CMCs build upon knowledge of foundational sciences gained in the classroom, and provide students the opportunity to make a difference in a clinical setting early in their training.
