Curriculum: Years Three and Four

The third and fourth years of the curriculum at New Jersey Medical School are devoted to providing exposure to the depth and breadth of clinical medicine. During the third year, students will rotate through the major disciplines in medicine (internal medicine, surgery, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry/neurology, and obstetrics-gynecology). Clinical experiences will include both in-patient and ambulatory rotations. Students will spend time at a variety of hospitals including an inner-city hospital, community hospital and a veterans administration hospital.

In the fourth year, students will assume a higher degree of autonomy and responsibility as they rotate through acting internships, three mandatory rotations (physical medicine and rehabilitation, public health, and emergency medicine), and select from a wide range of electives, both at NJMS and throughout the country.
