Fourth Year Electives/Selectives
Fourth year students are required to complete 1200 credit units, including a Subinternship (inpatient selective), a selective in the Scientific Basis of Medical Practice, and additional elective experiences.
During subinternships, students assume the role of a houseofficer, which includes direct patient and on-call responsibilities for a minimum of four consecutive weeks at a University of Chicago or affiliated hospital. Scientific Basis of Medical Practice Selectives are designed to challenge students to refresh their understanding of basic science principles after their third year clerkships. Descriptions of these selectives can be found in the Fourth Year Selective/Elective Catalogue.
Registration
Fourth year students participate in a lottery the spring of their third year to select course choices for the upcoming academic year. Other courses are available through the online registration system. Follow the links below for additional information.
