Reading Elective

1-4 units

Reading electives allow in-depth study of a topic of particular interest to the student, related to the study or practice of medicine as appropriate for credit toward the MD degree. Reading electives must be independent projects, and cannot be related to any other independent elective experience (for example, students may not use a reading elective to conduct a literature review before beginning an EXPLORE research project). Expected effort for a reading elective is approximately 30 hours per week.
