Is participating in the clerkship program essential to attaining a residency position?
No. The clerkship is primarily an educational experience aimed at helping you to develop your academic and clinical skills. However, the rotation does allow the attending podiatrists serving on the residency selection committee the opportunity to assess your knowledge of podiatric medicine and surgery in a variety of situations. Therefore, common sense dictates that you should perform to the best of your ability during the clerkship.
