Audition Clerkships: RVU defines an audition clerkship as a clinical rotation, completed in your 4th year, at a residency program where you are functioning as an intern. Auditions are basically "month-long interviews;" they are a good source of LORs/SLOEs and to solidify your specialty choice. 

  • Audition clerkships are your responsibility to schedule. You may have to use VSLO, Clinician Nexus and various program websites to apply.
  • Once you have solidified an audition rotation, submit the appropriate iNet form (Make sure you include specific contact information for the program):
