OMS-III Curriculum
OMS-III rotation schedules may vary by location and preceptor as the student is expected to follow the preceptors’ schedules except for required COM educational programming. Each OMS-III student is required to participate in one or more required core rotations(s) in a healthcare setting in which the student works with resident physicians in an accredited graduate medical education (GME) program. While student preferences may be taken into account at OCCE discretion, rotations are assigned based upon availability and educational requirements.
A minimum of one required OMS-III clerkship must be completed under the supervision of an osteopathic physician (DO), and more than one of the required third-year clinical clerkship experiences must include an inpatient component.
