Next Week: Orientation to Explore & Focus Scheduling and MS4 Planning
In preparation for the Explore & Focus Phase scheduling process later this fall, there will be a two-part orientation for current MS3 and expanded MS4 students to explain how E&F is different from the Patient Care Phase, how the scheduling process works, and how to plan appropriately for things such as Step 2, away rotations, and residency interviews. We will introduce you to the various units and people you will work with as you move through the scheduling process and address common questions. Both sessions will be recorded.
- Part 1: Recording and slides
- Part 2: Wednesday, September 22, from 6:00-7:00 PM PDT: https://uw-phi.zoom.us/j/95061048454
In effort to help answer any questions you may have from these two sessions, the Registrar team will be hosting office hours. Bring your questions to either of the following sessions, zoom link to follow.
- Tuesday, September 28th, 5:30-7:00 PM PST
- Tuesday, October 5th, 11:30-1:30 PM PST
