Directors of Clinical Skills Education (DOCS) supports scholarship in clinical skills education. We are
excited to announce the second annual DOCS Ronald Silvestri Clinical Skills Education Grant will be

to foster scholarship across the medical education community by encouraging collaboration across
institutions or medical disciplines.
