Clerkship Schedule & Burnout?

[Chipmunk59]

Hi, I’m trying to decide between Ottawa and Mac med (3-year program), and I had a couple questions for 3rd/4th year students at Ottawa.

 

1. How many weeks of core rotations do you have, and how many weeks of electives? 

 

2. From what I know, there’s no summer break once clerkship begins in third year. A common complaint about 3-year programs like Mac is that the lack of summers leads to burnout, but it seems like 4-year year programs have it even worse in terms of consecutive clerkship time? 

 

3. Would anyone be able to post the year schedules for clerkship? Specifically, the ones from this link under "clerkship": https://med.uottawa.ca/undergraduate/students/student-zone/clerkship 

(I can’t access a lot of the stuff on Ottawa’s website sadly)

 

Thanks!
