Third

Year Survival Guide

Because we all need a little help from friends.
All information in this guide is from previous students only.
It is not supported by the UTCOM administration, and is to
be taken purely as advice. Good luck on your future
journey in clinicals!

General Organization of 3rd Year:

Your 3rd year is made up of bridge week, required clerkships, and one elective. Bridge week is
mandatory and is your orientation to 3rd year. It is usually the last week in June, and you will be
required to sit for Step 1 before bridge week begins. Do not take your backpacking trip across
Europe, your honeymoon, or your family reunion during the last week in June; you are busy.
Your clerkships during 3rd year are either 5 weeks or 10 weeks and are explained later on in
this guide. The 5-week clerkships are always paired together to make up 10 week blocks:
Obstetrics and Gynecology/Pediatrics
Neurology/Psychiatry
Family Medicine/Elective
Vacations:
Winter Break: 2 weeks, and the same break you had 1st and 2nd year
Elective Vacation: You receive 1 week of vacation during your elective. Electives are 4
weeks of service plus 1 week of vacation. The vacation may occur anytime during your
elective, it just depends on which elective you're in and how they assign it.
Between 3rd and 4th Year: 1 week off at the end of 3rd year, before you begin 4th year.
Usually the first week in July.
Holidays you usually have off:
Independence Day
Labor Day
Veteran's Day
Thanksgiving Day
Friday after Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Day (all during winter break)
Martin Luther King Day
Memorial Day
Area Health Education Centers (AHEC's): https://www.utoledo.edu/depts/utahec/index.html
The AHEC program is designed to give students educational experiences in
underserved or metropolitan (MAHEC) areas.
o Requirement: You are required to have 8 weeks of AHEC during your 3rd year.
If you do not complete all 8 weeks, you can finish them during 4th year with AHEC
electives.
o Applying: At some point before the clerkship begins, the clerkship coordinator
will send you an email with a preference form. The preference form asks you to
choose a region (BAHEC, LAHEC, SAHEC) as a first choice, and one region as
a second choice. It will also ask you if you have completed an AHEC before.
You will send your form back to the clerkship coordinator, who will send it on to
the AHEC office. The AHEC office will place students based on a first come first
serve basis, and based on who has the least weeks of AHEC already completed.
If not enough students request an AHEC (just dont fill out the form and return it),

then students for that block will be randomly assigned to the available AHEC
sites.

Shelf Exams:
What are they?: Shelf exams are basically end of rotation exams. They are
web-based exams given by the NBME. At UTCOM, they give shelf exams for
every required 3rd year rotations. You will take them on a laptop (either personal
or school provided) in a lecture hall with other students (generally students on
your clerkship and on 1 other clerkship). Depending on the clerkship it will be a
morning or afternoon exam. The exams are 100 questions and you get 2 hours
and 30 minutes for the exam, with exception of the internal medicine exam (110
questions, 2 hours 45 minutes).
What if you fail?: You get 2 chances to pass each shelf exam before you fail the
clerkship. However, you can only have 1 failed shelf exam grade at a time.
o You've failed 1 shelf exam: You will continue on rotations, and make up
the shelf exam when there is an open date. Shelf exams are only given
every 5 weeks at UTCOM, and you may not take 2 shelf exams on 1
day. Therefore, you will have to wait until you have an open day (typically
your elective) before you can make up that shelf exam. They generally
do not like you to take a make up shelf exam during a 10 week rotation.
o You've failed 2 shelf exams before retaking the 1st one: You will pulled
off rotations until you pass 1 of the exams.
o You've failed 2 shelf exams throughout the year but retook the 1st one
and passed: Same deal as failing 1 shelf exam
o You've failed the retest shelf exam: You have failed that clerkship and
you will have to remediate the clerkship.
