In the last year of medical school, students apply and interview for future residency — a process requiring a substantial investment of time. Not only does Dell Med’s curriculum build in space for this journey, the fourth year gives students the chance to explore residency disciplines and medical specialties through learning experiences like electives, clinical rotations and acting internships. Longitudinal courses in Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills, Interprofessional Education and Leadership continue.
In the spring of the fourth year, students complete a capstone experience that will help facilitate the transition from medical school to residency.
