To get familiar with the basics... click here. But seriously... don't worry about rotations as of right now. At the end of the year, the OMSII representative will meet with your class and answer any questions you have. Until then please do not contact the Clinical Education Department with questions. If you have a question that must be answered now... please email the OMS II Representative from the home page.
OMS II
August-September: Rotations Committee will be formed, initial survey of the class interests will be taken and published after site information fact sheets are posted (see current sites). Kaplan will visit the class to start our board preparation.
October-December: Rotations Committee will finalize the lottery procedures (with student input), Dr. Silberg and Dr. Pera will begin our orientation to the third year by addressing the class and answering questions not already answered (TBD). Around winter break, the 3rd year Blackboard site and EMS (lottery/rotations system) will become available (full of resources we will be utilizing throughout the rest of our time at Touro).
January: OMS II's will get access to the Blackboard Site "Orientation to 3rd Year." Hospital Day: this event will welcome in hospitals that not only have core sites located at their facility, but that have residency programs we will be applying for. This is a great opportunity to go straight to the source with your site questions. Exemptions Committee will be accepting submissions. Students will be notified if they were granted their exemption or not before the lottery.
Late January-Early February: The lottery will take place.
February-April: After sites have been notified of their students, schedules will be formulated. This takes time and may include many revisions. Please be aware that you may not receive your final schedule until the end of April.
