All Clinical Rotations (CR)are pursued as the integral parts of the CMU SOM Clinical Medicine Training Program (CMTP) only at the ACGME accredited Clinical Medicine Centers (CMC) in the USA, therefore they all comply with the strict US accreditation requirements and NY12R.
The Clinical Medicine Training Program (CMTP) consists of 6 trimesters over two years.
The CMTP includes 72 weeks of Clinical Rotations: 48 weeks of Core and 24 weeks of Elective, clinical lectures, case presentations, breakthroughs seminars, etc, as well as the Clinical Subject Shelf Exam Prep Courses for NBME and USMLE and ERAS Application Guides.
All 48 weeks of the core rotations are mandatory, while being pursued at the CMU SOM Clinical Medicine Centers in the USA only. All 24 weeks of the elective rotations are selected by a student from the options offered by the School or requested as individual rotations applied for and only if approved by the Dean or Associate Dean of Clinical Medicine.
The core rotation schedules are determined by the Clinical Rotations Coordinator immediately after graduating and receiving the Certificate of the Basic Sciences that verifies completion of all BS Courses and passing the required Board exams.
