Clinical Sciences Shelf Exams

[matt12]

Do AUA students take shelf exams in the core clinical sciences? If so, would they be on the last day of each rotation?

No we don't. But I hear they're gonna start next year.

Tentative date of implementation is around June of 2012 per senior staff this past week.

Excellent.

Can anybody make an educated guess on whether or not you would have to take shelf exams for clinicals you already completed before this proposed date?????

I think anyone who completes a given core BEFORE the implementation is safe for that core. Not like they're gonna go back and make someone in late 4th year take 6 shelf exams after the fact.
