Clinical Rotations

Clinical rotations will begin in early January following successful completion of the didactic portion of the program. Rotations are approximately 6-8 weeks long (with some variation) and finish in early to mid-December (based on convocation date). Some clinical sites provide housing but do not allow pets. Students are given their clinical rotation schedule near the end of the first year.
