When do student begin Clinical Rotation

[Compassion MD]

When do students at AUA begin their clincial rotations? Do they begin after they have passed their USMLE step 1 & after their Preliminary Clinical Training in FL? Or do students have to wait until certain month to begin like Match is only once a year in the month of March.

Theoretically you can start rotations after 5th after you've registered for Step I however, this was in the past I know not of students who have been able to start rotations without having their Step I results. You can start rotations whenever, after 5th...in theory ;)

You can't start rotations until after you take Step 1. Most places even require a Step 1 score transcript to start. One of the few that doesn't is Jackson Park Hospital.
