Third Year Rotation Information and Affiliates Guide
2018-2019
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!

Sincerely,

Affiliations Committee Representatives

Third Year Clerkship Selection Procedure

Mid to late February, students will begin to select the rotation and location of clerkships with the Registrar's
Office. Specific dates will be emailed from the Registrar’s Office.
Approximately April 23rd 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.
Since it is realized that at times changes are necessary once the academic year begins, ANY CHANGES must be
made under the following procedure:
All changes must be made six weeks or more before the scheduled rotation online via Banner Web or using
the standard paper drop/add form.
The clerkship being changed, whether location or rotation, MUST be arranged by and with the Coordinator of
that clerkship (in consultation with the Director). If two or more students or two or more clerkships are involved
in the change, all Coordinators that pertain MUST be involved. The Coordinators will then inform both the SITE
and the REGISTRAR.
The Coordinator will inform the new site Coordinator and the original site Coordinator of the change. This
information will be by phone and by email and will be to the clerkship coordinators and to chief academic officer at
any affiliated Medical Center. The Deans of Affiliations will also be copied. Students may enlist the advice or
help of any faculty member or Dean in effecting a change; however the change may only be made by a
CLERKSHIP COORDINATOR. All changes must be reported to the Registrar.

• Five weeks of Family Medicine (FMED 350)
• Ten consecutive weeks of Surgery/Surgical Specialties Selectives

General Information Concerning the Scheduling Process

• 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 reserved to the college.

• 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 screen.

Thomas Jefferson University’s Sidney Kimmel Medical College (SKMC)
Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) at Atlantic Health

What is a Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC)?

An LIC is an innovative model for the clinical clerkship year founded on the organizing principle of continuity—
continuity of care, supervision, curriculum, and of relationships with patients, preceptors, and the health care system.
You will have the opportunity to follow patients longitudinally throughout the core disciplines, spanning all phases of
diagnosis and treatment.

Features of the LIC:

• A nine-week clinical inpatient immersion experience followed by 40 weeks of longitudinal care across the core
disciplines in the outpatient setting
• A preceptor in internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, neurology, and
psychiatry will be assigned to work with you on a weekly basis
• You will gain an understanding of the disease process through involvement of care delivery across all aspects of the
health care system
• Opportunities to learn from master SKMC educators in Atlantic Health’s state-of-the-art teaching hospitals, as well
as Goryeb Children’s Hospital, Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute and Atlantic Neuroscience Institute

If I choose to participate in the LIC, will I get the same education?

Yes! The LIC delivers an equivalent curriculum to that of the traditional block model, including didactics, patient log
requirements, assignments, and NBME exams, longitudinally over the course of the entire clerkship year.

What are the benefits of participating in an LIC?
• Learn through patient-centered care
• Develop longitudinal relationships with faculty preceptors and patients in acute and chronic care settings
• Perform equivalent to peers on standardized testing
• Experience an increased connection with patients
• Foster a greater sense of self-awareness and responsibility for your education

To apply, you must:
• Be in good academic standing
• Submit a brief, 500-word essay describing your interest in the program
• Meet with program faculty

Notification of acceptance will occur prior to the general clerkship lottery.

The ½ day specialty sessions occur in the outpatient setting, unless stated otherwise.
Self-Directed Time = White Space

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.
