The purpose of the Directors of Clinical Skills Education (DOCS) is to build a cohesive and productive international consortium of educators who direct clinical skills education for medical students.

When you become a DOCS member you join a network of over 300 colleagues advancing clinical skills education.

Each year, DOCS' annual meeting is held in conjunction with the national Learn-Serve-Lead annual meeting of the Association of American Medical Colleges.

The principal missions of DOCS are to “to promote scholarship, establish best practices, and encourage the exchange of ideas across the continuum of clinical skills education.”
