Career Exploration and Synthesis 2.5 Credits/Maximum of 7.5

Catalog description

Given that students in Phase 2 are required to have 3 separate two-week clinical exposures, CES provides opportunities in addition to existing formal two-week electives. To that end, Career Exploration and Synthesis is a 2 week clinical experience in a medical or surgical discipline of the student's choice at the end of each block in phase II. This time is intended to permit exploration of various career options, extension of clinical experiences and synthesis of material learned throughout the block, and allow for individualization of learning in the clerkships.
