Year 3 Core Clerkship Grade and Score Information
Core Clerkship Grade Heading link
There are two components required to calculate a final grade for each Core Clerkship.
- Clinical Grade
- National Board of Medical Examiners Subject Examination
Upon completion of each core clerkship, a final clinical grade is assigned by the Hospital Site Director, which is submitted to the Clerkship Program Director for review and final approval.
Once a subject exam is taken, it takes between 3-5 days for the COM Office of the Registrar to receive the scores. An email notification is sent to students, following posting to the College Database.
For a student to successfully pass a core clerkship they must meet the minimum pass level on the college administered NBME subject exam in that field and obtain clinical assessments that meet the minimum pass level for that clerkship. Final grades can be viewed in the College of Medicine On-line Score and Grade Summary Application via the web.
