Third- and Fourth-Year Programs

  
There are a total of 24 clerkship periods. Fourteen of these are assigned in a manner prescribed by the Curriculum Committee and the Dean to ensure that every student obtains the core experience needed to become a well trained osteopathic generalist physician.
 
Flexi2ility is provided by seven months of elective time, three months of selective time and one and a half months of vacation time to give the student ample opportunity to pursue his/her special interests.
 
The clerkships provided at each site and the number of students assigned to each site from PCOM are determined by mutual agreement of the Hospital Administrator, Director of Medical Education, Clinical Faculty and the PCOM Office of Clinical Education. For those clerkships listed as "Away" assigned clerkships, housing will be provided unless noted otherwise.
