Multispecialty Elective

The Careers in Medicine Elective is a two week elective offered to students during their clerkship year. The elective is designed to offer students a brief introduction to various specialties that one would not traditionally have exposure to during the clerkship phase of the curriculum with the goal to provide early insight into potential career options. Students are scheduled to rotate through 3-6 different clinical settings of their choosing over the course of the two week elective based on their individual preferences. At the end of the elective, students will meet one-on-one with the Dean of Students to discuss their experiences on the elective, receive career advising, and review their CV.
