Dear Class of 2023,I know there are rumblings about a vote that occurred at a recent undergraduate deans meeting. I know that the decision made by the deans to recommend AFMC not move forward with visiting electives for the class of 2023 has created mixed feelings for students from across the country. Many of you are deeply disappointed and were eagerly waiting for a return to a more typical medical school experience and career exploration. Many of you are relieved because your school’s clerkship schedule would not allow for you to participate if it did open up and you feel like you have a more equitable chance at matching to your desired programs. We hear your concerns and all of those feelings are valid. As your national representatives we take all viewpoints to the table when we meet with our external partners. Our team knows we were elected on our campaign points to ensure equitable access to medical education for all students and that is at the forefront of our mind in every discussion and decision we make.There is no doubt that the Class of 2023 has had more hardship than other cohorts of the past. You started your medical education in a pandemic and/or have completed your entire clerkship experience in a pandemic and have had to show adaptability and resilience at every turn. I am sorry that we have to navigate yet another hurdle, it is not fair. There is no doubt about the immense value visiting electives brings. Let us share with you what we know so far:
- Due to the cancellation of visiting electives for the Class of 2022 the AFMC took the time to “refresh” the visiting elective portal. This means that just opening up the old portal is not feasible. There were also technology hiccups along the way that are out of our or AFMC’s control.
- What we have learned from past leaders from the CFMS and our historical records is that the portal came into existence to ensure equitable access to visiting electives for all schools. Students of the past advocated for this as there was inequitable access and certain schools were not taking students for electives but allowing their students to travel and reap the benefits.
- Institutions across the country are struggling to provide core clerkship rotations and we are hearing from students that they are missing opportunities or having to do things online. This means that if there is limited capacity for their own learners, having learners from other institutions will result in further limitations to essential experiences.
- Omicron is also a contributing factor and is unfortunately having an impact on our learning opportunities once again. As we see cases across the country surge, we are keeping a close eye on the impacts this is going to have on learners. The one thing that we have heard from other classes is that having decisions made as early as possible helps students plan accordingly.
With every school impacted in a different way, we are working with our Class of 2023 Advisory Group, reconvening the President’s Round Table, and engaging with students coming forward sharing their concerns.
