Adjunct Clinical Skills Club
What We Do
The Adjunct Clinical Skills Club is a student-led training program with a documented, semester-aligned curriculum. We practice the procedural and resuscitative skills likely to come up in clinical rotations — IVs, injections, suturing, splinting, intubation, ACLS, code-blue execution, OB delivery, hemorrhage control — and back every event with formal sign-off so members have a concrete record of what they’ve learned.
The aim: walk into clinical rotations prepared, confident, and ready to contribute to patient care.
What You’ll Practice
- AHA-aligned ACLS and PALS — Both are required for clinical rotations. Trained at the club.
- Hands-on procedures — The skills members are statistically most likely to perform on clerkships: IVs, injections, suturing, wound care, splinting, casting, reductions, ABGs, and OB delivery — and more beyond this list.
- Emergency simulations — Multi-level code-blue, trauma, mass-casualty, and integrative capstone scenarios.
- Curriculum-aligned schedule — Events are timed to match the academic system you’re studying that semester.
- Real teams with formal sign-off — Every event runs with assigned roles; each skill has documented criteria, a personal skills record, and a certificate of completion.
- A pathway to teach — Members can progress into co-instructor and lead instructor roles, supporting future cohorts as they learn.
