How are students evaluated academically?
The school uses a satisfactory-unsatisfactory (pass-fail) system for the first year of medical school and a letter-grading system based on UW-Madison’s scale of A, AB, B, BC, C and F for the next three years. Third-year clinical clerkship grades typically include a subjective assessment and a final exam; the clinical comments from the subjective assessment become part of the student’s Medical Student Performance Evaluation when applying for a residency.
