Updating and Renewing Electives

Updating Course Profiles

You may update your elective course profile anytime throughout the year by contacting Gezelle Miller (gmiller@mednet.ucal.edu, 310-825-3848).  The updates are posted weekly on the Medical Student website under Handbooks, 4th Year Electives.

Gezelle Miller should be notified immediately if there is a change to the course chair and student coordinator.

Elective Renewals

Requests to renew or cancel your elective are mailed to the elective course chairs in November, all current electives are renewed and updated or cancelled for the following academic year.  Renewal packets are mailed to the elective course chair and followed by an e-mail notification to the student coordinators This handbook is printed once a year in January.  As a backup to the course chair’s renewal, a letter is also sent to the student coordinator to notify you that it is time to renew or cancel the elective clerkship(s).

When renewing the course we need to know if the course will be offered during the next academic year and if so, we need course profile information updated.
