(as is done in years 1 & 2)

Students at Kaiser will attend didactic sessions virtually through Microsoft Lync when the time
change does not present a problem

experiences

Students will have the same amount of time built into their schedules for didactics as students
completing rotations in Boston or at other clerkship sites
