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 or his designee.  He/she should meet with the director to request this and discuss the reasons for doing so.
