Policy Statement

All students are required to participate in Continuing Care Clinic for one half day per week beginning in Year 3 until they graduate from the program. Students do not attend clinic during vacation blocks and out-of-town electives. Year 5 and 6 students may not miss more than four blocks of Continuing Care Clinic per year. Year 4 students may not miss more than two blocks of Continuing Care Clinic per year.

Students who participate in an elective block within the Greater Kansas City Area (within a 25-mile radius of the School of Medicine) are required to participate in their regularly scheduled weekly clinic. Students participating in an elective outside of the Greater Kansas City Area are not required to participate in their weekly clinic and the block will be counted as one of their allowed blocks away from clinic during that academic year (includes one vacation block each year).
