Teaching in Phase 2
Clerkships
The clerkship year is a cohesive, integrated experience, with a focus on the developmental acquisition of clinical competence and achievement of the School of Medicine’s 18 Entrustable Professional Activities for entering residency (EPAs).
Required Clerkships
- Transitional Clerkship (four weeks)
- Internal Medicine (eight weeks)
- Surgery (eight weeks)
- Family Medicine (eight weeks)
- Pediatrics (6 weeks)
- Obstetrics & Gynecology (6 weeks)
- Psychiatry (6 weeks)
- Neurology (6 weeks)
- Emergency Medicine (longitudinal)
Advanced Clinical Rotations (ACR)
Students are required to take a sub-internship, a critical care selective, and two electives from the SOM’s catalog. Sub-internship and critical care selection will be taken either during the ACR time frame or the beginning of the Phase 3 calendar year.
Activities that will be part of a student’s Phase 3 Plan can begin during Advanced Clinical Rotations. For example, a student can begin intensive research work immediately after finishing clerkships and taking Step 1.
