Core Clinician
The Core Clinician block is made up of competencies that all lead clinicians, regardless of their role or specialty, should be able to demonstrate proficiency in. This block is split up into four competency domains: General Core, Clinical Knowledge and Acumen, Professionalism & Citizenship, and Evidence-based practice. Faculty pursuing the Clinician Track should complete each of these four domains in order to fulfill the requirements of the Core Clinician block. In addition to the core block, learners should complete a minimum of one elective block for each track in which they are enrolled.
