7.4.5 TAC Hours for Taking Boards

7.4.5.1 The University recommends all students take National or Canadian Boards. Therefore, clinic is optional for interns on this day. Interns choosing to not be in clinic the day of the exam are not required to use TAC hours.

However, because students cannot use National or Canadian Boards to fulfill University requirements, interns taking National or Canadian Boards will not receive clinic hours credit. Interns may need to make arrangements to ensure that they meet the 78 or 300 clinic hours requirement by making up the hours in clinic, earning additional hours through authorized university events, or through additional Rotations (T8/9).

7.4.5.2 Interns not taking National or Canadian Boards or who are taking boards during a time which does not conflict with their clinic shift are expected to either complete their assigned shifts or use TAC hours to be away from clinic.

7.4.5.3 Interns taking State and Provincial Boards will need to use TAC hours to be excused from clinic for these examinations as they are not a requirement for graduation.
