The Educational Scheduling System (ESS) is a computer program that enrolls medical students into their clinical clerkships for the upcoming academic year. The scheduling system is programmed with class rosters and all clerkship information – including starting dates, locations, and the maximum and minimum number of students for each clerkship. This information is listed on the course profile of each elective. Each student submits their list of clerkship requests (in the order of their personal priority) in the computer and the scheduling system matches the requests of the students with the spaces available.
Throughout the year, you will use ESS for the following:
- To enter your clerkship requests
- To view your schedule
- To check availability of required clerkships
- To view your Final Summative Student Evaluations submitted to the Student Affairs Office by the clerkship chair.
