All students are required to complete and pass the following eight blocks:

  • One Acting Internship in any core area – Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Surgery, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Emergency Medicine or Critical Care (must be taken at affiliated hospitals)
  • One Selective in Emergency Medicine or Critical Care
  • Six Electives (up to four electives may be taken at approved extramural institutions, and no more than four electives may be taken in the same core area)

The three remaining blocks of the fourth year may be used for other electives, independent study, further research, residency interviews or remediation (if needed). Students finish the fourth year with a one-week Capstone Experience that provides specialty-specific preparation for internship, leadership training and teaching experience.
