There is no official Thanksgiving vacation during clinical rotations. Thanksgiving will be treated as a Sunday. Students are expected to report to their clerkship for this period. (Students will be informed by each department as to their obligations for Thanksgiving Day itself). Students enrolled in clinical courses in the third-year have a seven-day commitment for all weeks in the course except the last week of the course, which ends on Friday.

All dates listed are subject to revision. Tuition is due no later than the first day of Orientation.
