Elective III

Catalog description

per elective Three four-week Electives are allowed in Year-Four. Students will have the opportunity to select rotations and attain knowledge and skills in areas of special medical interest.

Electives include any medical or surgical specialty or subspecialty and/or a special elective of interest to the individual student. Students are strongly encouraged to utilize this time to strengthen areas of weakness and/or obtain a well-rounded education and not to concentrate in one specific area of medicine. Electives may be split into two (2) two-week periods at the same facility. All electives should be patient care oriented.
