Successful completion is required before the fourth academic year can be started.
You must pass all third year clinical rotations before promotion to year four. Rotations are required in Family Medicine I and II, Internal Medicine I, Geriatrics, Pediatrics, General Surgery, and Psychiatry. This sequencing is essential because of its value in providing the basics for all rotations to follow. The balance of the rotations are sequenced so that all requirements are met at approved sites without overlapping or crowding at those sites. The training physician's expectation of the level of performance for third year students is, of course, not as high as that expected for the fourth year students.
