School of Medicine March/April Update

Now, get excited for an even better academic year ahead full of new clinical sites, exciting goals, and students and faculty to make it great!

Our Exciting Match Day Results!

Congratulations to our newly matched Class of 2023! In an unprecedented celebration last week, our students matched at a 100% match rate!

Now, our students will be headed off to 30 states around the country to represent 26 specialties as the future of medicine! We're so proud of everything our Class of 2023 has accomplished and know they'll make our Wayne State University School of Medicine family proud.

Class of 2024 Starts Their M4 Year!

Now that our Class of 2023 is all matched with residencies and research fellowships, it's time for our Class of 2024 to shine! The Class of 2024 will be starting their fourth year in just a couple of weeks, and boy are they ready to roll! We've seen a lot of ambition from this rising M4 class and can't wait to see where they go from here.

As these students head to your hospital and clinical sites, please remember our PEARLS Professionalism Reward Program. Use this to highlight standout students who deserve recognition for their positive behavior or who might need to acknowledge areas for growth. PEARLS remarks can be used on MSPE letters to help our students secure residency spots, and we're looking forward to another year of 100% matched students, so the PEARLS Program is a great way to help us get there!

Class of 2025 Starts Their Clerkships!

Can you believe our fresh faced M3 class is ready to start their clerkships on April 3rd? We sure can't! As a reminder, clerkship evaluations are due within within one week of the completion of the clerkship. This allows the clerkships, along with our enrollment management team, to post grades in time to meet our institutional standards of excellence. Not only that, but completing evaluations within one week of the completion of the clerkship allows our students to gain valuable feedback and make improvements throughout the year and get their loan disbursements in time to be able to pay rent, buy food, and pay for gas.

It is for these reasons that we encourage preceptors to do their evaluations before they forget on their phones, either using the New Innovations (NI) app or the website on their phone. (Remember to use WayneUME as the Institution, as it is different than the residency NI site for those of you who use it for residency also.) We appreciate the effort this will take, but we know our students will appreciate the benefits of timely grades more.

Coming Next Week...

With the start of the new academic year on April 3rd, we will have important updates to the evaluation forms of the students, the goals and objectives of the clerkships, and to the policies.

Please keep an eye on your inboxes for this important update!
