Special Strategies(it really doesn’t matter!)
However, if you want………
• Don’t schedule ‘hard’ rotations back to back (eg. surgery, internal medicine, OB)
• Don’t schedule things you think you are interested in first or last
Why do Neuroscience Clerkship in Year 3 instead of Year 4?
• If you think you might be interested in neurology or neurosurgery as a career choice
• If you want elective time to try out other specialties that you don’t see in Year 3 (eg. Radiology, Surgical specialties, Pathology, etc. but NOT emed)
• If you need more vacation time in year 3 for something (eg. Weddings, babies, etc.)
Disadvantages of Doing Neuroscience in Year 3
• You commit yourself to an 8wk clerkship during the 4th year that must be completed by Jan/Feb of your senior year
• It could “clutter” up important parts of Year 4 (eg. Specialty surveying, application period, extramural electives, interviewing, board study, etc.)
POM III/IV
• POM III is composed of 6 full day sessions during the year, one during each clerkship block.
• POM III/IV requires a ‘research project’– start in Year III– finish at time of POM IV in
Year IV (March)
