Clerkship experience affidavit by intern is due at what time?

• A. End of academic year
• B. End of internship
• C. After 500 hours
• D. Upon graduation

Answer: (A)

Submitting the clerkship experience affidavit at the end of the academic year is the timing set for documenting intern clerkship hours and experiences. This affidavit certifies that the intern has completed the required clerkship under a licensed preceptor, and the board uses it to verify the intern’s record before graduation. Ending the academic year provides a natural point when all clerkship activities and evaluations are consolidated, allowing the school, preceptor, and program to attest to completion in one complete submission. Submitting later—such as at graduation or after 500 hours—can delay licensure, and there isn’t a separate milestone of 500 hours that triggers the filing.
