2015-2016 Electives Catalog

It is the students' responsibility to verify where and to whom they report before the start of each course no later than the Friday before the start of the rotation.

Tampa Instructions

Students in the SELECT (LVHN) program who rotate at one of the Tampa campus sites must contact Registrar 8 weeks before the start of the Tampa elective (with the following information) to ensure that all appropriate hospital credentials are in place.

  • Name of elective
  • Site of elective
  • Dates of elective

LVHN Instructions

Students in the Core (Tampa) program who rotate at one of the LVHN campus sites should do the following:

Drop/Add

  1. Drop/add requests must be submitted at least one month in advance of the rotation.
  2. Log in to https://hsccf.hsc.usf.edu/comdropadd/ with the same user ID and password you use to log on to your USF health email account.
  3. Before you can make changes, you must select your Year 4 collegium advisor from the drop down list. If your advisor is not on the list, please contact me, and I will have your advisor added. If you need to, you may go back and change your advisor. However, you MUST email Chad Whistle if you change your collegium advisor and/or track. Additionally, please email me if you have changed or will change your specialty track.
  4. Once you select your collegium advisor, you may view your schedule and begin selecting courses to drop and add. To add courses, you may search using several filters. Courses are listed under the same departments and sites that are located in the Electives Catalog. If you are unable to find a course, please adjust your filtering criteria. You may need to broaden the scope.
  5. Even though you have submitted a request, it is not approved until you receive an email from the Office of Registrar. Your schedule will not be changed until then. Your advisor and the course coordinator must both approve your request, then I will review your schedule and make changes as appropriate. Please make sure to review the requirements for the fourth year (CORE and SELECT) to make sure your new schedule will be in compliance. When reviewing drop/add requests, I will take your entire schedule into consideration. For example, you will not be permitted to drop a required course unless you have submitted a request to add it in a different period. You may also view the Fourth Year Academic Calendar to determine the dates for each period.
    Drop/add closes 01/04/16
                Electives Open-Closed Report 10/9/15 at 5 pm     (Does not include pending drop/adds)

     Instructions for Reading Report

    Please note: Changes are not automatic. There are three levels of approval (coordinator, advisor, registrar). Requests are typically processed within a 2-3 day window, but may be a little longer at the beginning of the year when many students make changes.

    The Electives Open/Closed Report lists each elective in each period, how many slots are offered, and how many have already been taken. For example:

    Elective Y is offered in periods 1, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. (Period 12 is an extra month for remediation purposes.) There are a total of 8 slots available in each of those periods. 3 students are enrolled in period 1, so there are 5 slots available. Period 10 is full.


    For courses offered as a two-week rotation, the total number of spots in one period cannot exceed the number of slots. For example:

    Period A is the first half of the period, and Period B is the second half. In Period 5, the enrollment adds up to 2 people for the four weeks, one four week person, one two week person in A, and one two week person in B. For this course, there cannot be more than 2 students enrolled at any one time. Based on the report, in period 10, either one more student could register for the full four weeks, or one more student could be in both Period A and Period B

Special instructions for Pediatrics electives in Tampa

  • Any request to Drop/Add a Pediatric elective rotation must be FINALIZED AND COMMUNICATED TO THE ROTATION SITE no later than 1 month (30 days) prior to the start date of the rotation.
  • Therefore, a student MUST submit these requests at least 45 DAYS prior to the start date of the rotation.
  • In the event of extenuating circumstances where a student must drop a course after the designated drop period, the drop form requires the signature (non-electronic) of the Director of Pediatric Electives/Pediatric Track (currently Dr. Ronald Sutsko) or his designee.  He/she should meet with the director to request this and discuss the reasons for doing so.
