Dr. Cheong was introduced to discuss the 4th year curriculum. Students use the 4th year to build on what they know and shore up what they don't know. One month will be interview month, one month a floating month. Students often double or triple credits during one month or have a research month on top of a clinical month. Clinical pharmacology is a mainstay and gives opportunities for students to get ready for the boards.
Attendance is very good.
There are six months of useable credit time from which students get to pick. There are several ways to evaluate the 4th year, one is with questionnaires. There are 215 senior courses offered. Students say 4th year is their most valuable year. A suggestion was made to increase the number of off-site rotations allowed.
