Students are required to have 4 hours of elective credit in the pre-clinical curriculum (semesters 2-5), but may have more. In spring of year 3 (semester 6), students are required to take EITHER VMED 9320 or VMED 9420, but may take both, if their schedule allows.
Most clinical rotations are two weeks long with rare 3-week exceptions. Each student must complete
13 core clinical rotations and 9 elective rotations, which are selected from a pre-approved list.
