Overview of Grading On The Surgery Rotation

As of August 4, 2003, we no longer use letter grades to signify clinical clerkship performance. The guidelines are that up to 25% of the class will receive "honors" designation.

The expected and average grade on this clerkship will be "high pass."

  • 70% clinical *
