clerkship usually means basic training, then an im clerkship is a must in every med school and is where you learn the basics; in contrast an im elective could be a cardiology or critical care rotation, that you chose because you wanted to know more about that subject.

hey I asked this to the ERAS support and they replied saying that there no place on the CAF for this so it should be mentioned in the personal statement or the cv

on the application worksheet (using that first then transferring all info to the web CAF), it says
"Page 5 - Experiences
For each relevant work, research, and volunteer experience/position provide the requested information. include clinical and teaching experiences as work, and include unpaid extracurricular activities and committees you have served on as volunteer experiences"
this says to me -
externship and observership = work experience
research = research experience
volunteering without clinical training = volunteer experience
