Non-Clinical Electives

Policy Statement
Students may enroll for credit in academic electives, research electives and humanities electives. These non-clinical elective experiences yield one block of required medicine credit, but they do not fulfill requirements for clinical elective blocks required for graduation.
All non-clinical elective experiences must be approved initially by the Council on Curriculum; to receive credit for the elective, students must satisfy all requirements specified in the elective description form.
Students taking any elective experience must also comply fully with attendance policies. Should a student determine that they are unable to meet the requirements necessary to satisfy a non-clinical elective experience, the student is responsible for contacting their ETC and Council on Curriculum without delay.
