New Clerkships and Early Start Date
With the spirit of progress in mind, the Pritzker School of Medicine has set into motion changes that will take effect beginning this summer. The Class of 2010 will experience a change upon entering their core clerkships. Beginning in the summer quarter of 2008, a new four-week clerkship in Neurology will be instituted, and rotations in Obstetrics and Gynecology as well as Psychiatry will be four weeks long.
The Pritzker Class of 2012 will start their classes in August, rather than September. First-year students begin with a comprehensive two-month study of Human Morphology (Anatomy), which will offer time to focus on this intense subject before the fall quarter begins on September 29th.
Further advancements will be put into practice in the coming years as Pritzker strives to create the most engaging and useful curriculum possible for its students.
