The regional site administrators schedule rotations, gather student evaluations, proctor end-of-rotation shelf exams, and provide administrative support to the regional deans. The clinical faculty are provided faculty development and a structured curriculum that includes assigned readings and case studies. Didactics occur weekly at each site.
