Introduction These guidelines will serve to familiarize 3rd year students with what will be offered to them and what will be expected of them. It is the intention of the School of Medicine to assure itself and its students that students are adequately prepared both for the practice of medicine and a life in medicine. Such assurance requires an overall academic performance that goes beyond the merely marginal. Each of the descriptions included in these webpages has been submitted by the appropriate department and reflects the official policies of that department. Variations in grading techniques are described.
All clerkships utilize evaluation forms, which are included in their respective webpages.
Students are urged to discuss their clerkships with the faculty who will notify the Dean's Office as to whether a student's performance is satisfactory. The Committee on Academic Standing will consider options ranging from requiring the student to repeat part or all of the clerkship year to dismissal from medical school.
