Johns Hopkins Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Diversity Committee Medical Student Mentoring Clerkship Program

The Department of Otolaryngology invite medical students who are members of underrepresented minority groups as defined by the AAMC and are interested in pursuing a career in otolaryngology-head & neck surgery to apply for mentoring clerkships at our institution.

Once accepted, mentorship is provided by Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery faculty members during the clerkship, as well as financial assistance (i.e., registration fee waiver, stipend towards housing). Clerkships are available throughout the year. Applications and transcripts must be submitted 3-6 months in advance of the desired elective. Clerkships are only available to medical student attending LCME approved U.S. and Canadian medical schools, and meet the AAMC definition of underrepresented minority groups.

Two types of clerkships are available:

1. One-month clinical clerkship:  a one-month clinical rotation in otolaryngology-head & neck surgery; students must be eligible to participate in clinical rotations at the home medical school.
2. Three-month clinical/research clerkship:  three-month clinical and/or research rotation in otolaryngology-head and neck surgery. Rotation structure based on individual student preference regarding clinical vs. research time; time may be all clinical, all research, or a combination of both. Open to any medical student following completion of at least one year of medical school education (students may apply for clerkships, with earliest start of clerkship summer M1-M2).
