Upon completion of the core required clerkships, all University of Minnesota Medical Students will have learned about a common set of conditions, procedures, and presenting symptoms that encompass high yield learning opportunities that any medical student, regardless of speciality, should experience and learn.

Students are expected to encounter a subset of these conditions, procedures, and presenting symptoms in each of the nine core, required rotations. Completion of these subsets is a requirement to pass each clerkship. Keep in mind that patients can be encountered and logged in any core clerkship and will count towards completion of the clerkship that ‘owns’ those particular RCE items.
