Your questions answered: Explore & Focus Scheduling – the 101
This will be of interest to MS3s and expanded MS4s. UWSOM has a website with information about E&F Scheduling [education.uwmedicine.org]. The registration team knows there’s a lot of information there, but they think it’s important that you review what’s there and the Guide to 4th Year Planning. [education.uwmedicine.org] Many of the answers to your questions can be found on those two websites.
Here are some Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
What happens at E&F registration appointment #1?
You may schedule two courses:
- Either a Sub-I or APC, and
- Either Emergency Medicine or Neurology
How should I prepare?
We highly recommend that you complete the steps here [education.uwmedicine.org].
What do I do once I’ve received permission to take a course that is permission only?
Forward the email from the Clerkship Administrator to somreg@uw.edu and copy your assigned scheduler.
What if I’m late?
You have the entire 15 minutes allotted to you, and we will do as much as we can with the time remaining before your appointment ends. Appointments are back-to-back, so we can’t extend your time.
What if I need to reschedule?
Email somreg@uw.edu and copy your scheduler.
Career Advising Student Advisory Board – Tip of the Month
As you know, third year is busy! Something you can do to thank your future-self is to make and edit your CV whenever you have some down time (e.g., month off, “chill” rotation). Having a solid CV is necessary for away rotation applications in the Spring, and you’ll use this info almost word-for-word in Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) when you’re applying. Check out our CV page for videos and templates.
It is helpful to start mapping out 4th year with the schedule in Excel from Career Advising’s 4th Year Career Planning webpage [education.uwmedicine.org]. Ask for clerkship permission, if required, ASAP and try to meet with Career Advisors [education.uwmedicine.org] and Specialty Advisors [education.uwmedicine.org] proactively! Be sure to look use the new Course Catalog [education.uwmedicine.org] to see which Sub-internships (Sub-I’s), Advanced Patient Care (APC) clerkships and electives you might want to take in fourth year.
