The Independent Study Electives are designed to allow students during their fourth-year of the program to build additional competencies and strengthen their knowledge base. It may be taken either as a stand-alone course or concurrently with other OMS IV requirements.  Requirements may be met in a menu-style fashion, where students may opt into and complete activities commensurate with the required number of credits, not to exceed 4 total credits for any combination of independent study electives. 

Students requesting to complete an independent study course must complete the Independent Study Form available from the Registrar’s Office, contact their Clinical Affairs Coordinator to register for the online study course, and schedule the course in CORE ELMS. The completed signed form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office for processing.
