What is 3rd year like?

📚 Preclinical

Still have boards but I’m curious how does 3rd year compare to pre-clinicals? I hear you can’t study during your rotation and that’s expected to be done before/after?

How do you guys find the time. Especially if you have a long day?

At the same time I’ve also heard there’s so much free time. I’m lost with how subjective this is.

Most important question: will I have time to develop a CV? I didn’t do much during pre-clinicals besides specialty club leadership and volunteer like twice.
