Clinical Immersion Phase

Clinical Immersion Phase Overview

Most students will have their Clinical Immersion phase core required clerkships scheduled through lane scheduling.  Students unable to take all of the Clinical Immersion phase core required clerkships during that phase will schedule the missing courses during the Specialty Specific Transitions phase.

Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships (LICs) will fulfill different required courses.  Reach out to your academic advisor or refer to the lanes and LICs document for your class for questions on which courses are covered by the LIC. 

Learn more about the lane and LIC options by reviewing the recorded presentations for your class here.
