Effective with the entering class of fall 2011, in order to satisfy the requirements for the M.D. degree, students must complete at a minimum, 28 clinical science credits during the fourth year. All students are required to complete a four-week, five credit sub-internship at Duke. In addition, all students must take a four-week critical care elective at Duke or a Study Away institution. Students who were unable to participate in a continuity clinic (Practice 305C) and were approved by their mentor to waive the Continuity Clinic requirement during the third year will need to take one of the approved ambulatory electives during the fourth year. All students are required to take the Capstone course. During March of the third year, each rising fourth year student meets with his or her advisory dean to examine postgraduate training interests and to receive information and recommendations to allow additional research into the area. The following are also considered: Composition of the clinical elective experience; Timetable for application to postgraduate programs; Appropriate postgraduate programs based upon the student's previous performance and specific long-range interests. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES Clinical Science Credit Requirements for the Fourth Year During the fourth year 28 clinical science credits are required. Students who were eligible to satisfy Practice Year 3 in third year but did not will be required to complete 32 credits in their fourth year. Please refer to the Practice 3 (INTERDIS 305C) course description under the Fourth Year Course Requirements section. The normal basic science/clinical science sequence may be relaxed only in extraordinary circumstances, if it is in the best academic interests of the student as determined by the advisory dean. Students that matriculated to Duke School of Medicine prior to 2011 must complete at least 32 clinical credits during the fourth year. Completion of Third Year Requirements for Promotion to the Fourth Year The student will not be officially promoted to the fourth year until all third year requirements have been met without prior approval of the Promotions Committee, and the student’s advisory dean. Additional information can be found at www.thirdyear.mc.duke.edu. These include: submission of IRB/IACUC approvals (Research Ethics) proof of an oral presentation provided to the third year mentor completion of statistics modules submission of a thesis or other approved submission close IRB protocol or remove name from protocol completion of the Third Year Survey and other requirements deemed as appropriate by the Third Year Committee and Curriculum Committee. Compliance Requirements Students must satisfactorily complete all immunization, drug screening, fire/life safety, and compliance training requirements in order to be cleared for graduation. Course Audit If you audit a course, you attend classes but do not turn in assignments or take exams. No grade is issued and you do not receive credit for the course. The course will appear on your transcript with a notation of "AD" (audited).

  • Should Osteopathic Students Applying to Allopathic Emergency Medicine Programs Take the USMLE Exam?
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH Should Osteopathic Students Applying to Allopathic Emergency Medicine Programs Take the USMLE Exam? Moshe Weizberg, MD Staten Island University Hospital, Department of Emergency Medicine, Staten Island, Dara Kass, MD New York Abbas Husain, MD Jennifer Cohen Barry Hahn, MD Supervising Section Editor: Juan F. Acosta, MD Submission history: Submitted February 14, 2013; Revision received May 28, 2013; Accepted August 13, 2013 Electronically published February 1, 2014 Full text available through open access at http://escholarship.org/uc/uciem_westjem DOI: 10.5811/westjem.2013.8.16169 Introduction: Board scores are an important aspect of an emergency medicine (EM) residency application. Residency directors use these standardized tests to objectively evaluate an applicant’s potential and help decide whether to interview a candidate. While allopathic (MD) students take the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE), osteopathic (DO) students take the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX). It is difficult to compare these scores. Previous literature proposed an equation to predict USMLE based on COMLEX. Recent analyses suggested this may no longer be accurate. DO students applying to allopathic programs frequently ask whether they should take USMLE to overcome this potential disadvantage. The objective of the study is to compare the likelihood to match of DO applicants who reported USMLE to those who did not, and to clarify how important program directors consider it is whether or not an osteopathic applicant reported a USMLE score. Methods: We conducted a review of Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) data for 2010-2011 in conjunction with a survey of EM residency programs.

  • IMGS Resolution 3: Unmatched Medical Graduates to Fill the Shortage of Primary Care Physicians
    AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION HOUSE OF DELEGATES Resolution: 3 (A-19) Introduced by: International Medical Graduates Section Subject: Unmatched Medical Graduates to Address the Shortage of Primary Care Physicians Referred to: Reference Committee (, Chair) 1 Whereas, By 2030, demand for physicians will exceed supply by a range of 42,600 and 2 121,300. The lower estimate would represent more aggressive changes in care delivery 3 patterns subsequent to the rapid growth in non-physician clinicians and widespread delayed 4 retirement by currently practicing physicians;1 and 5 6 Whereas, In 2025, largely resulting from the aging and growth of the U.S. population, the 7 greater increase in demand compared with supply will result in a projected deficit of 23,640 FTE 8 primary care physicians nationally2; and 9 10 Whereas, A shortfall of between 14,800 and 49,300 primary care physicians will persist despite 11 a moderate increase in the use of advanced practice nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants 12 (PAs); and 13 14 Whereas, A total of 7,826 active ECFMG applicants did not match in 20196. In 2018, out of 15 43,909 registrants and 37,103 active applicants, only 32,967 got in to a residency position 16 leading to a total of 10,942 unmatched medical graduates who registered on the National 17 Residency Matching Program (NRMP) website which includes 4,136 unmatched active 18 applicants; and 19 20 Whereas, Working as APRN or PA is not an option for these physicians because this would 21 require going back to school and obtaining a different degree at a very high financial cost and 22 also wasting years of education and millions of dollars in school debt, despite meeting the 23 standard of qualifications necessary to practice medicine;3 and 24 25 Whereas, Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas have passed laws to allow unmatched graduates to 26 work in medically underserved areas without doing a residency under the supervision of a 27 licensed physician4.
