Year 3 Structure

Clerkships mark the transition to the predominantly clinical component of the medical education program. Students are immersed in clinical experiences and clinical reasoning practice throughout the community and surrounding areas. Students work full-time at a designated site during each four- to twelve-week rotation period and are at times assigned on-call duty on scheduled nights and weekends.
