Students complete nine one-month experiences beginning in the summer preceding their fourth year. Students will have required experiences, such as ambulatory care and acute care, and elective experiences.

Students are required to complete at least 10 professional elective hours selected from an approved course list during their first, second, or third professional year and prior to fourth year experiential rotations. With the exception of Fall semester in the first professional year, one elective can be taken each semester of the didactic program. Electives are intended to complement the required curriculum and allow students to select courses based on professional interests. Students wishing to take electives during summer terms may do so after their first professional year on any of the campuses in the WVU system ( Morgantown, Parkersburg, Potomac State, West Virginia Tech) provided the courses are selected from the list of professional electives or are deemed equivalent by the University. Students wishing to receive course credit for courses taken outside of the WVU system must have pre-approval by the Curriculum Committee.
