UTMB “Revitalizes” Electives and Selectives for 2020-2021 Academic Year

UTMB continues its innovative curriculum by changing MS3 and MS4 electives and Selectives to 3 weeks during the upcoming 2020-2021 academic year (they had previously been either 2 or 4 week duration). This change will increase the total number of Periods at UTMB from 13 to 17. It will permit upper level UTMB medical students to take more electives, but it could cause issues with scheduling away rotations because most of them are 2 or 4 weeks in duration. It is also possible that UTMB will require a “pre-PGY1” rotation around the NRMP Match to prepare our students for their first PGY year of residency.
