Clerkships in M2..??

I'm currently researching medical schools and will be applying this summer. I've come across a few med schools that seem to start clerkships in spring of M2 year instead of the traditional fall of M3. So far the ones I've seen are (maybe??) the University of Wisconsin Madison and the University of Iowa. Personally, I put very high value on clinical learning because there's only so much you can learn from textbooks. So my question is: would these schools be rushing the "book-learning" phase... Clerkships in M2..??
