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.
