Basic Sciences are
vital to learn the vocabulary and grammar of medicine. Clinical rotations
are something different – it’s where one actually learns to be a physician.
Whereas the Theories are pursued from anywhere – either online or on campus,
the Clinical Rotations have no such options and can be pursued only in the
affiliated hospitals.
On successful completion of the Basic Medical
Science curriculum from a relevant Medical University, the next step will be
the Clinical Rotations or the Clinicals. To get enrolled into any clinical clerkship
in any hospitals, student must have successfully completed the academic
examination from the recognized Medical University. In general, the clinical
clerkships will be of two years duration.
Students are required to start clinical
clerkships not later than 2 semesters (8 months) after the completion of Basic
Medical Sciences. Students are advised to give the Administration or Clinical
Department at least two weeks notice, informing the department of their intent
to begin Clinical Clerkships and choice of clinical sites / hospitals.
One of the basic facts concerning the ClinicalClerkships is the Residency Programs or the Internship Programs wherein the
students would take the USMLE exams to settle in the US with the concerned
trade or profession..
Transfer students from the accredited or
recognized Medical Schools would be eligible to apply to different Medical
Universities throughout the world. But
in such cases, it is mandatory for the students to demonstrate that the Basic
Science part has been successfully completed at the previous medical school and
provide Step1 results of the USMLE Examinations, if available. In the absence
of USMLE (step 1) examination result, a student may be allowed to commence
clinical rotation upon demonstration of very high scholastic achievements by
the student in other examinations deemed equivalent to USMLE step 1 or other
forms of assessment by the admission committee of the University.
