Kansas City Class of 2014
Third Year Clinical Track Options

January 6, 2012 Class Meeting Handout

Listed below are the 11 third year clinical rotation tracks for the 12-13 academic year for Kansas City students. Students may specify their preference to begin their third year clinical curriculum in a 4-, 6- or 8- week clerkship in the Fall semester. Students will be randomly assigned to a specific track based on their preference and course enrollment limits set by each clerkship director. You can choose to go to a rural Network site to complete a portion of the following clerkships: Family Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, General Surgery and Pediatrics. Students interested in participating in the Salina Rural Track to complete all of their third and fourth year in Salina should contact Dr. Michael Kennedy.

If you have specific (extenuating) reason for specifying a 4-week, 6-week or 8-week track in the Fall semester (pregnancy, wedding, Philmont in June, July or August, etc.) please follow the link and complete the form.

Final track choices will be due Noon on Friday, January 27, 2012. Results of the track lottery will be distributed by March 2, 2012.

To move from field to field, use the TAB key or the mouse.

Assignments to tracks will be random.

Clinical Clerkship Orientation (required) - Monday, June 18-Friday, June 22, 2012

EPIC (electronic medical records) training is required prior to entry into the third year. Training dates have not yet been scheduled. You will be advised of when and where as soon as the information becomes available.

 

Course requirements for the M.D. Degree:

Third Year = 48 Weeks
Above tracks include: Internal Medicine (8 wks), General Surgery (8 wks), Family Medicine (8 wks), Obstetrics-Gynecology (6 wks), Pediatrics (6 wks), Neurology (4wks), Geriatrics (4 wks) and Psychiatry (4wks).

Issues in Clinical Medicine is a required lecture series that meets once a month for one to one-half hours during the third year, usually on Thursday afternoons.  This course is designed to deal with issues that cross all clerkships.

Fourth Year = 36 weeks

Health of the Public (4 wks)
Rural Preceptorship (4 wks)

Selectives:
Subinternship (4 wks) - Choose from: Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Ob-Gyn, Otolaryngology, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery or Neurosurgery
Critical Care Selective (4 wks) - Choose from: Anesthesiology, ICU Medicine, CCU Medicine, Neonatology, Pediatrics, Burn Center, Neurosurgery or ICU Surgery

Electives (16 wks):  No more than 4 credits of non-clinical/patient care electives can be counted toward graduation credits. A minimum of 12 credits of electives must be clinical/patient care electives.

Clinical Obligations and Holidays

The beginning and ending dates of each third year module is listed above.  Each module begins on Monday at 8:00 a.m. and ends on Saturday at 1:00 p.m.  Holidays are at the discretion of each attending physician for all clinical students.  The rationale is that students are members of the health care team.  They must act and be treated as professionals.  Patient care responsibilities are their priority.  Departments may choose to give their enrolled students "free days" on other state observed holidays, i.e. Martin Luther King, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day, Thanksgiving Day and the Friday following Thanksgiving.  Students are already on break over the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays in both the third and fourth year.
