Elective Opportunities

There are no electives required during the pre-clinical years. However, students have the opportunity to take several courses approved for senior elective credit.  Please note that these courses cannot be taken during the clinical years for senior elective credit.

Students may take as many electives in their pre-clinical years, in any combination, as they wish. However, a maximum of only 3 months of senior year elective credit will be awarded as a result of pre-clinical electives. A minimum of one, 4-week clinical elective will be required of all students in their senior year regardless of the amount of elective credit accrued in their pre-clinical years.

Students participating in preclinical electives including CAPP, Medical Spanish, Family Care Track, and approved Law School Courses must earn a minimum grade of "C" in all medical school coursework in order to register for or continue with the elective. Students not meeting this standard will be withdrawn from the course or program upon confirmation of a "D" or "F" in a course. No partial credit will be awarded to students required to withdraw.
