  • Gain exposure to all four clinical experiences  
  • Complete PGY1 within 3 years 
  • Meet all of the prevocational outcome statements by the end of the prevocational year 
    • Supplementary evidence will need to be provided if an outcome statement was unable to be achieved during the year (e.g., course attendance) 
  • Undergo a mid-term and end-of-term assessment each term
