Student Employment During the MD Program

The schedule of studies and clinical activities of the MD Program requires full-time engagement of each student. Employment during any part of the educational program may interfere with studies and clinical work and seriously jeopardize a student's ability to complete the degree program. While employment is discouraged by the medical school, any student contemplating employment for any reason should discuss the matter with the Executive Associate Dean for Medical Education and Student Affairs before undertaking employment. Any student who is considering (or engages in) employment must be in good academic standing. If at any time there is evidence that the student's academic performance is placing the student at risk for failing, the student's employment status will be reviewed with the student. This could result in being asked to terminate employment.
