ACOM is proud to partner with 30 core clinical sites across Alabama, Florida and Mississippi, offering our students a wide range of learning environments for their clerkship years.

Last week, we had the privilege of hosting our Medical Education Directors for a dinner celebrating their commitment to educating future physicians. We also welcomed core site representatives to campus for our Clerkship Fair, giving second-year students the chance to explore their options, ask questions, and learn more about the clinical training opportunities ahead. These connections help lay the foundation for a successful transition into their 3rd and 4th years of medical school!
