After the students pass USMLE Step 1 and begin the journey into Clinical Rotations, it is important for the students to adhere to the following schedule, timelines and requirements:
The first Clinical rotation the student will take will be a 12-week program. This program has been developed by our Clinical Dean, Dr. Pestell, along with the clinical department and curriculum committee, to offer students the best opportunity to get acquainted with clinical rotations in the US. The first 8 weeks will be at the Lankenau Institute for Medical Research, a renowned medical research center located in Wynnewood PA. This will be followed immediately by 4 weeks of Introduction to US Healthcare System. This program is mandatory for all students starting clinical rotations, as part of a total of 84 weeks of clinical rotations.
