- Policy Statement: As described in the PLFSOM academic catalog, students are expected to begin the third year of the M.D. degree program with the first clerkship block of the academic year. Under special circumstances (such as a delay in passing USMLE Step 1), students may be permitted to begin their third year with the second clerkship block.
- Reason for Policy:
- To prevent issues due to educational program constraints related to coordination of the clerkship intersessions and fourth year requirements.
- Who Should Read This Policy:
- Clerkship directors and coordinators
- Members of the Committee on Student Grading and Promotion
- Students
- Resources: This policy is administratively supported and disseminated by the Office of Medical Education.
- Definitions:
- Off-cycle: Any student who is taking a required course or clerkship through an offering at a time other than as intended by the standard degree plan.
- The Policy: Students are expected to begin the third year of the M.D. degree program with the first clerkship block of the academic year.
- Under special circumstances (such as a delay in passing USMLE Step 1, suspension or Leave of Absence)), students may be permitted to enter the third year with the second clerkship block (off-cycle).
- Students entering in the first or second block are required to attend all orientation and Intersession activities in order to optimally prepare them for their clinical experiences.
- The policy related to Step 1 and entrance into the clerkship phase is outlined in the Grading, Promotion, and Academic Standing (GPAS) Policy which can be found at the following link: https://elpaso.ttuhsc.edu/som/ome/CEPC/_documents/secure/GPAS_Policy_11- 22-2022.pdf
