If a student fails an NBME subject exam twice, and thereby fails the clerkship, the student must remediate that clerkship and retake the NBME subject exam before starting a new rotation. A student who has successfully completed the clinical portion of the remediation may, while awaiting the subject exam score, take a 2 or 4 week elective. The student who receives a passing score on the subject exam may proceed with other coursework. The student who receives a failing score must stop coursework pending review by CAS. If the failing score is received before the student has completed the elective, no credit will be given. If the failing score is reported after the student has successfully completed the elective, he or she will be given credit for the elective.
