The junior year consists
of six clinical core clerkships. The clinical core consists
of six weeks each of internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology,
pediatrics, family medicine/rural, surgery, and psychiatry.
During the clerkships, emphasis is placed on the development
of clinical, interpersonal, and professional competence. In
addition, students participate in the Foundations in Clinical
Medicine. This course is designed to integrate basic and clinical
sciences utilizing small group discussions and patient case
scenarios.
Students also have the opportunity
to choose four three-week selectives from a list of core and
non-core specialties. At least six weeks (two selectives)
must be done in the designated core rotations; however, students
can choose to complete all twelve weeks in the core designated
specialties. These selectives are designed to give the student
an opportunity to experience different specialties in order
to aid them in their career planning and specialty choice.
All of these selectives are graded on a Honors/Pass/No Pass
basis only.
Students must complete all of their
junior year requirements on campus and may not participate
in any rotations other than those at MUSC.
NOTE: On each selectives
page is a list of available blocks. Available blocks are
indicated with an X. If there is not an X
next to a block, it is not offered during that time. |
