SOMA has taken the initiative to coordinate a nationwide database of clerkships.  The database houses information on the physician, the osteopathic incorporation of the practice, location and if the rotation is affiliated with a residency program.  All SOMA members have access to the database.  SOMA members across the United States may enter information; so when planning third year electives, fourth year electives or auditions, a nation-wide database is available to all!  Please enter recommended rotations into the database so the database can grow!
