The Clinical Years consists of five terms for a total of 80 weeks.

SAMPLE: This listing does not indicate the sequence of courses.  The core rotation schedules are determined by the hospital at the time students are admitted into the clinical program.  In general, students complete their core rotations before doing additional requirements and electives.  Primary Care can be taken at any point in the clinical curriculum.  Electives listed above are examples of the many options available.  Elective choices and schedules are arranged individually by students in consultation with the hospital administration. 

Hospitals have the option of requiring students to attend an orientation.  This orientation can last up to a week and is a non-credit experience.

Clinical rotations in the United Kingdom may begin in January
