Yes. Students may choose to “off-ramp” from the 3-year MD track into the traditional 4-year curriculum if they change their mind within the first year. A transition may also be required if a student experiences delays such as a Step 1 delay, a need to remediate a course in the first or second year, or a significant life circumstance that impacts timely progression.
Students enrolled in the Yuma Branch Campus may still be required to complete their 3rd and, if necessary, 4th year clinical rotations at the regional campus despite transition to the 4-year curriculum, depending on availability and curricular requirements.
