Thank you in advance

it's easy as far as hours go. but your whole grade is pretty much based on the final written exam.
so you can be a slacker, or a hard worker on the floor, but it wouldn't matter either way if you bombed the exam.

is it a shelf or a wyckoff exam?

reply to Homebrave and Chianti, thank you for the feedback regarding IM, and family practice. Sounds like whatever we do, we get out of the program what we put in. I completed surgery at Wyckoff and it was a good learning experience for me, however, cannot speak about anyone else, you must like all aspects of surgery to a certain degree to appreciate the Wyckoff program, meaning preop, op and post op, and that is not for everyone understandably so.

Does anyone know anything about GI elective at Wyckoff in terms of schedule and learning? Thanks for any info

[AFGHAN_MD]

GI is a decent rotation at wyckoff. The hours are 9-3 and you actually learn cause they have a few fellows there as well. I reccommend it to anyone who is looking to learn and it's pretty easy to schedule cause some students avoid it since it requires a semi full day of work.
