Curriculum OverviewThe clerkship curriculum is intended to provide Florida State University College of Medicine (FSU COM) students with ageneral medical education that will serve as a foundation for residency training that will begin at the end of medicalschool. This document applies to AY2021-2022 and is subject to change. References to the third year are for the Class of2023 and references to the fourth year are for the Class of 2022. The clerkship curriculum begins with M3 orientation ateach regional campus. Additional orientation occurs at the rural training sites, as well as clinical sites where studentsrotate for their required clerkships and clinical electives. The third year of medical school, often referred to as M3,consists of six (6) core clerkships, a year-long doctoring course, community medicine, and two FLEX electives. The fourthyear, often referred to as M4, consists of three (3) required clerkships, multiple electives, and a capstone course to helpstudents prepare for the transition to residency.Supervision of Medical StudentsStudents at the FSU COM are supervised by faculty members during participation in patient care activities. Mostsupervision will be immediate and direct, although a faculty member can determine how much autonomy is allowed at agiven time during the student’s clinical clerkship or elective. Students may assist other physicians or hospital employeesin the care of patients during emergencies. Students must be under the direct supervision of a physician for all technicalprocedures.Access to Medical RecordsStudents at the FSU COM may access medical records of assi sidency programs, participate in unique educationalexperiences such as research or international experiences, and strengthen their knowledge and skills in areas they mayneed to improve.Electives 16 weeks minimumTime offInternal electives at FSU COMExternal electivesInterviews, intensive study, vacationRequired, 8 weeks minimumNone required, 8 weeks maximum 8 weeks maximumM4 ScheduleUpdated June 4, 2021Clerkship Years Policies and ProceduresPage 5 of 11

ElectivesElectives SearchStudents may search for electives in two ways. Internal electives can be found using the course search function createdfor scheduling purposes. The second is a searchable database that exists to provide access to prior students’ evaluationsfor both internal and external electives. Both are provided to students to aid in choosing electives of interest. Inaddition, a list of electives available at FSU-sponsored and affiliated residency programs is available at all the regionalcampuses and is posted to Canvas.Length of ElectivesElectives are typically scheduled for 4-weeks, except during years when block 8 is only 2-weeks. Some electives areoffered for 2-weeks; however, students are not allowed to schedule more than three (3) 2-week electives. The short 2week electives are designed to teach limited content or to help “fill in” schedule gaps due to remediation, externships,or other absences. Externships are sometimes scheduled differently than the FSU COM scheduling blocks, and when thathappens, electives may be split on either end to get the student back in the scheduling block cycle.Remote Learning and Special Topics ElectivesWhile students are expected to participate in hands-on educational experiences as much as possible during the clerkshipcurriculum, there are circumstances where remote learning may be allowed or required. In addition to clinical electives,there are several special topics and remote-learning electives available within the FSU COM system. Some special topicelectives provide a way for students to work with faculty to develop course objectives and create a learning opportunitythat best meets their learning needs, while others may represent a new elective with pre-determined content.Students are allowed three (3) remote learning electives during the M4 year and are encouraged to schedule thoseduring interview months, block 11 (which contains Match activities), and block 12. Students should discuss remoteelectives with their Regional Campus Dean to determine the impact on their schedule.Elective Subspecialty PolicyStudents may select only two (2) electives in the same subspecialty and no more than three (3) in the same discipline.For example, a student may not take all electives in any one specific discipline such as the various subspecialties ofsurgery, medicine or pediatrics, etc. Students should consider choosing electives that complement a student's chosenspecialty area. Students interested in Pediatrics should consider OB/GYN, Allergy, Immunology, or Otolaryngology.Students interested in Surgery should consider Cardiology or ICU experiences. Students interested in Internal Medicineshould consider electives in Geriatrics or Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The Senior Associate Dean for MedicalEducation and Academic Affairs (or designee) has the final decision on whether a student’s schedule reflects anappropriately balanced and well-rounded general medical education.ExternshipsExternships (also known as extramural electives or external electives) are those electives taken outside the FSU COMregional campus system. This includes courses at other LCME-accredited medical schools, ACGME-approved residencyprograms, and international electives not sponsored by the FSU COM. External electives must conform to all theapplicable FSU COM policies. All external electives must receive approval from the Regional Campus Dean and the SeniorAssociate Dean for Medical Education and Academic Affairs.In most years, the FSU COM policy is to allow up to three (3) external electives for
