Clerkship Scheduling Notes

Out-of-State, International, and Extramural rotations cannot be taken during the Clerkship Phase. If pre-requisites have been met, students may add a sub-internship during a scheduled elective month in the fourth quarter of the Clerkship phase.

Graduation requirements, specialty choice, and career and professional interests should be considered when scheduling these rotations. The Office of Student Affairs offers advice and guidance for scheduling.
