In total, 80 weeks are needed to graduate; 50 are fulfilled with the core clerkships and the remaining 30 are electives that must include other clinical requirements (subinternship, longitudinal, surgery related electives, and the selective which are outlined above). If academic credit is needed for graduation requirements to be met, the credit-bearing activity (usually a rotation) must end by the Friday preceding the Friday before graduation.
