Scheduling Summary

YEAR 3 SCHEDULING

What you should not do -

• Do not try to schedule third year clerkships at non-Dartmouth sites (exception is military scholarship students as allowed by clerkship)

What you should do -

• Think about the order you want to do clerkships
• Think about the sites you prefer
• Remember the diversity expectation
• Learn about the lottery process
• Remember that you have July, Aug, Sept of your fourth year to take a subinternship or electives that may help make career decisions, or help improve your record in an intended specialty, and still get the evaluation into your Dean's letter
• Remember to keep your Student Passport up to date
• Remember military and Maine FAME requirements if applicable
• Remember that some specialties have an early match (eye, GU, ENT, neuro, neurosurgery)
• Remember that all the clerkships offer excellent training, and that in the end you will have all had comparable experiences. There is no worst case scenario.
• HAVE FUN AND LEARN A LOT!
