Establishing an Ambulatory Care Clerkship at a Coast Guard Clinic

Health and Safety Division, U.S. Coast Guard Integrated Support Command, Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California 94501, phuntzinger{at}d11.uscg.mil

This paper describes the experience and benefits of establishing a pharmacy student clerkship program with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) at a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) ambulatory care clinic. The goal of the paper is to provide pharmacists with information that can be used to institute a clerkship program. The implementation of the clerkship at the Integrated Support Command Alameda (ISCA) pharmacy involved an uncomplicated, step-wise approach that can be readily emulated. The clerkship provided the ISCA pharmacy with several benefits, including the opportunity for the pharmacist to mentor, that clearly outweighed the challenges.
