Year 3

There are 52 weeks in Year 3. The Year 3 curriculum contains the core clinical clerkships, a 3-week intersession of basic science integration and a research experience.

Here are just a few of the ways that the new curriculum touches students in Year 3:

MMS's explicit commitment to Improving the Public's Health

This theme has always been implicit at MMS. In this curriculum, it is made explicit to rigorously inform the advanced students' learning experiences as they embark on Year 3 clerkships in:

  • Family Medicine
  • Internal Medicine
  • Neurology
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology
  • Pediatrics
  • Psychiatry
  • Surgery

Other Year 3 Requirement:

  • Research
  • Safe Harbor — Professionalism
  • Residency Bootcamp
  • Year 3 Intersession:
    • Preventive Medicine & Public Health
    • Hot Topics in Medical Ethics
    • Radiology III
    • Muscoskeletal Workshop
    • Medical Economics
    • Medical Jurispridence
    • Palliative Medicine
    • Sepsis Module
    • ACLS

The 3-week intersession applies basic science knowledge from earlier years to patient care and continues the "improving the public's health" theme.

Topics here include:

  • certification in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
  • "shock state" workshop at the simulation center
  • principles of professional conduct
  • instruction in managing patient confidentiality
  • the role of humanities in medicine
  • strategies for minimizing medical errors in practice
