2019-2020 Third Year Rotation Information and Affiliates Guide Third Year Rotation Information and Affiliates Guide 2019-2020 Foreword As our first two years of medical school are nearing an end, we can look forward to putting our knowledge and skills to use in the clinical setting. This experience is an exciting time which will give us further insight into our interests and final career decisions. While the core rotations are the same for all of us, each of the sites is distinctive in its own way. We have many options available to us, ranging from small community hospitals to large academic medical centers. As such, we will each have a unique set of clinical experiences from which to draw on for the rest of our careers. This guide was created to provide information about each affiliate hospital and the various rotations they offer. We have tried to make this as helpful and complete as possible. Please keep in mind that while every effort has been made to provide the most accurate information, this guide is not the final word. The Office of the Registrar will provide the official information regarding individual course locations, enrollment limits for each site, and the blocks when each course is offered. We hope the information in this guide will help you select rotation sites to fit your own goals. We wish you all the best of luck next year!

Specific dates will be emailed from the Registrar’s Office. Approximately on January 15, 2019 the results of the lottery will be available to all second year students. STUDENTS ARE PROHIBITED FROM HOLDING MORE THAN ONE SLOT PER CORE SUBJECT and the Registrar will automatically delete extra slots held thereby jeopardizing a student's first choice. Due to the complex nature of the scheduling process, the schedules received by students are final. If a student desires a change to a different rotation or a different site, they must find someone to switch with them directly. This must be done at least 6 weeKs before the start of the rotation in question via standard drop/add form, and will require an approval by the Clerkship Coordinators and/or Directors for both clerkships. In an event of an approval, the Clerkship Coordinator will notify the affiliate site and the Registrar. The major objective is to give each student the highest order of courses and locations preferred, while also meeting Jefferson and affiliated hospital requirements. Determination of final location and sequencing of all rotations is determined by SKMC. If the student's first preference is not available, due to enrollment limitations or other factors, the process will move to the next highest selection depending on the preference selected by the student on the schedule request list. If a student fails to provide alternate choices of time periods and locations, and the first choice is not available, the student will be assigned when and/or where space is available.

Medical staff functions have traditionally included initial credentialing, reappointment, and approval of privileges for new procedures. Tools used to fulfill these tasks include focused and ongoing professional practice evaluation (FPPE and OPPE). The staff is responsible for peer review, including case study and quality concerns. By-law and policy issues such as investigations, interventions, confidentiality, and physician rights are also areas in which the medical staff is involved. The staff has administrative functions related to patient safety, infection control, pharmacy and therapeutics, medical records, and behavioral issues like disruptive behavior and practitioner health. This is only a partial list of the responsibilities of the medical staff. Ultimate responsibility for approval and implementation of any recommendations by the staff’s Medical Executive Committee lies with the Board of Main Line Health. In addition to the above functions, the medical staff also takes an active role in continuing medical education. Your medical staff dues have always funded clinical educational efforts, such as Grand Rounds, at our various locations. A new additional effort is the Medical Executive Committee’s budgeting of dedicated monies for physician education, which will enable members to carry out these medical staff responsibilities.

  • Primer for Applying to Internal Medicine Residency Programs A
    Primer for Applying to Internal Medicine Residency Programs A) Fourth-Year Schedule: • Ideally, schedule the internal medicine sub-internship during July or August in order to procure a letter of recommendation (if needed). • Alternative clinical experiences to consider in place of the sub-internship include: o Away rotations: ▪ Away rotations are NOT required for IM. The majority of students applying to IM across the country do not partake in visiting rotations. Visiting rotations are most helpful if students demonstrate a significant interest in a particular program or location. ▪ Away rotations may increase the chance of an invitation to interview at the hosting institution, but this is NOT guaranteed. ▪ Visiting subspecialty electives are preferred over visiting sub- internships, which require strong institutional systems knowledge to optimize clinical performance. o Critical Care Clerkship o Subspecialty Rotations at Cooper • IM residency interviews often start in mid-October and extend to the end of January with the majority of interviews occurring in November and December. Therefore, plan accordingly. • Schedule a more rigorous clinical experience in the spring to enhance clinical skills prior to graduation in preparation for residency. B) Timeline: C) Curriculum Vitae & ERAS Application: • Timeline: Should include all longitudinal, meaningful experiences from the first day of college until present day. • Experience Boxes: o Research Experience: ▪ Include all meaningful research at both the undergraduate and medical school level
