Is this true? How does Sask and UBC have so many elective weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 16 elective weeks of clerkship rotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selectives and electives are two completely different things. Selective are technically part of your mandatory rotations. For example, when you're doing your IM core, you get to choose which specialties you want to focus on. All selectives are done at the home school. The number of weeks of mandatories and selectives indicated are correct. These are done during M3. In addition to those, there are 16 weeks of electives in 4th year.

Yes, 16 weeks too short. I'm not sure about any other schools, but this alone makes me question the source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmen Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 The numbers for Sherbrooke are correct although I'm not sure what they mean by non-clinical rotations. Perhaps preventative medicine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The source is the 2017 Canadian Medical Education Statistics (CMES) from the AFMC: https://www.afmc.ca/sites/default/files/CMES2017-Section1-Information.pdf. Not sure about Western tbh.
