![]() Abridged Version Registration and Scheduling: (206) 543-5560
Office of Student Affairs: Room A-300 Health Sci Bldg The following is a list of key scheduling policies. Please consult your Elective Schedule Handbook 2001-2002 for a complete presentation of all policies and other essential registration and scheduling information. Clinical Schedule Change Appointments: The registration
staff is available to make changes to clinical schedules Tuesday
and Thursday, 8:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. The Registrar is available
to make changees to clinical schedules on Wednesdays, 11:30 a.m.-12:30
p.m. These 15-minute appointments are drop-in or call-in, if the
student is out of town, and are on a first-come, first-served basis. Because
scheduling involves a number of choices, it is to the student's advantage
to personally come in for the appointment if at all possible.
Change appointments are limited to no more than two per quarter
unless there are extenuating circumstances which mandate extending this
limit.
To add or drop a clerkship, there must be at least 6 weeks
between the time of the change appointment and the beginning of the relevant
clerklship.
To drop a WWAMI site or Medicine Subinternship, another
UW student must replace the student wishing to drop at the WWAMI site
or Medicine subinternship. Prior to any such drop, permission must be
received from the relevant department and the Registrar. This includes
students wishing to move from one WWAMI site to another. The housing requirements
of students swapping sites must be similar so that housing is not a problem.
Rehabilitation Medicine requires that adds and drops
of their clerkships be arranged at least one full month prior to the beginning
of the quarter in which the clerkship occurs.
Spring Quarter Ophthalmology or Dermatology Clerkship may not
be dropped.
If emergency situations occur which necessitate sudden
schedule changes, Constance Lamb should be contacted immediuately.
If a student must miss time during a scheduled clerkship, Constance
Lamb should be contacted immediately.
Students wishing to take clerkships outside the School's scheduled
courses must contact Trudy Furberry at least three months prior to the
beginning of the clerkship. This includes courses in the WWAMI
area which are covered in the departmental generic 699 number series.
Students should not expect to take time off from courses for residency
interviews. Keeping in mind the graduation requirements, especially
the 48 clinical elective credits, fourth-year students should schedule
time off from late November through mid-January for residency interviews.
