Rotation Information

Each five-week block includes four weeks and three days in the clinical setting, totaling at least 184 hours under the preceptor's supervision (~ 40h/week). The final two days of the rotation students return to campus for in-person assessments. This intentional design promotes continuity of learning for the student and enables preceptors to deliver focused, high-quality educational experience with minimal disruption to workflow.
