Med Years 3 & 4


Medical School Clinical Years
After a successful thesis defense, students transition back to the third year of medical school. The date at which students reenter the medical school curriculum is flexible, however, most students decide to enter in July or August. Clinical rotations of typical 3rd and 4th year medical students are completed both at the Madison campus and at various sites throughout Wisconsin, exposing students to a variety of faculty and patient populations. During the final year of the Program students begin the residency application and interview process.
