    What happens if I miss these deadlines?

    We will place you somewhere in the state where we have housing and a community teaching physician. Even if you fill out site preferences, we cannot guarantee you will get your preferred sites. This website gives us a good idea, however, where you have housing and where you would like to do your rotation.

    What is meant by commutable vs. non-commutable?

    Commutable means that you prefer to be placed within 50 miles of where you are based. Non-commutable means that you would like to leave the area where you are based and do the outpatient portion of your rotation in another part of the state.

    What is a Student-Created site?

    A student created site means that the medical student finds their own community teaching physician and does so in an area where they also have housing. Students may not work with physicians who are relatives, but students are allowed to find their own community teaching physicians. If you want to ask a physician that you know to be your preceptor, they must be board certified in the same discipline as the course they are expected to teach. For example, the ambulatory portion of the 3rd year Pediatric Clerkship must be taught by a physician that is a board certified generalist in Pediatrics. If you decide to create your own site, please visit the website that explains the rules for Finding your own ambulatory preceptor.
