JCON 705CA Career Exposure to Unique Specialties

Credits: 1
Students are less likely to pursue specialties (Ophthalmology, Urology, and Radiation Oncology) that they haven’t had significant exposure to prior to medical school or on core clinical rotations; often, the more elusive specialties pique interest later than is ideal to seriously pursue. Many of these specialties are competitive, and early exposure can be beneficial. This elective seeks to provide opportunities for early exposure to clinical specialties in a low-stakes environment that 1st and 2nd year students may not have easy access to. The goal of this elective is exposure to help inform decision making for additional shadowing, precepting, research projects, or elective rotations as students progress through medical school.
