Target: U of A Faculty of Medicine
Region: Canada
Background (Preamble):
As you may know, the Faculty of Medicine is currently planning to introduce a major exam into 3rd year medical school, in addition to the other exams we write in our 2nd and 4th years.
This is disadvantageous for the following reasons:
1. 3rd year is already EXTREMELY busy, and there is not adequate time for another exam.
2. The focus of clerkship should be on rotations and electives.
3. Many students are away on electives at different points of their 3rd year.
4. U of A students preform very well on the final exams in 4th year.
This petition will be passed to all four medical classes as it is important that we all support each other in maintaining a strong medical school.
Please note that there is an "Anonymous" option should you choose.
