Change to Clerkship Exam Schedule
There will be a change in the usual clerkship exam schedule. This year, the Juneteenth holiday is observed on Friday, June 19. Because UWSOM staff will be unavailable to proctor on that day, we will be moving the last exam of Spring quarter to Thursday, June 18. The start time will be the same as usual (8:30am Pacific). Testing Services will remind you of this when they send their email at the start of the rotations that test at the end of Spring quarter.
Career Advising Student Advisory Board Tip of the Month
This advice is for all MS2 students and includes first generation and BIPOC student lenses.
We hope you had a restful winter break! As you begin your STEP 1 dedicated period, make sure you have a weekly schedule with at least one full day off. Folks usually study for 8 – 10 hours daily but do what is best for you! Make sure to check in with your support system as this time can be hard. Once you take the exam, use the rest of your break to relax and do the things you love, prioritizing your well-being before clerkships. Good luck everyone!
