IMPORTANT NOTE: It is the responsibility of the students to maintain a timely progression through the curriculum, which includes being able to start the Clinical Sciences and complete the MD program within 6 years of matriculation. Students who have difficulty passing any USMLE examination should not let repeated leaves of absence to study for and retake these examinations interfere with their overall academic progress.
