- [Instructor] Hello, and welcome to this tutorial
on Advanced Integration Level Scheduling.
This video will provide an overview
of fourth year lotteries, enrollment blocks,
and how scheduling works once the lotteries are over.
It is intended to be viewed by clerkship students
before the meeting with the dean of students in late fall.
The video will end with a list of online resources,
which provide more detailed information.
- [Instructor] The lotteries.
We will touch briefly on selecting an advisor
and the various lottery stages.
In order to participate in the lotteries,
you must first select a specialty advisor in OASIS.
To do so, it is important
that you first choose your advanced integration year
before clicking on Advising.
Do not simply click on Advising.
Pick the correct year first.
Select your specialty advisor, and type a brief comment
to be included in the automated email OASIS will send them.
You may also wish to enter your specialty interest.
The lottery consists of two top choice stages,
then a campus-specific requirement stage,
followed by the elective stage.
The first two stages allow students to select
from all the courses that departments have chosen
to include in the lottery.
When the lottery opens, you log into OASIS
to select, then rank your choices.
Putting in fewer choices won't increase your odds
of getting your preferred placement,
but it will increase your odds of getting no placement.
Include all the placements
you would be open to during each lottery.
You get one course placement per stage
during these choice stages,
or none if you only ranked a couple of things
and they filled ahead of you.
- [Instructor] It doesn't matter when, during each lottery,
you submit your ranking.
Once you've clicked on update order, you may log out.
After the results of the first lottery are out,
you resubmit rankings in the second lottery,
and again, in the third.
During the lotteries, you can draw placements,
but you can only add courses to your ranked selections.
There's no guarantee you will get them.
- [Instructor] The next stage is campus-specific,
and limited to acting internships
and emergency medicine requirements.
Only students who have not received one
or both of these placements
during the proceeding stages should participate.
When you log in during this stage,
your rank list will be pre-populated
with the needed course or courses located
at your assigned campus that will fit
in your schedule, relative to course placements
from earlier stages.
If you haven't gotten a medicine or EM placement
by the end of the campus-specific stage,
the needed course will be randomly assigned to you.
Then there is the electives lottery.
At the end of the elective stage,
you can end up with multiple courses scheduled.
Select and rank all placements you might want.
- [Instructor] Don't worry, OASIS won't schedule
the same course twice.
- [Instructor] Add/Drop opens in January.
Add/Drop is when you add things like vacation,
research months, study time,
away rotations, and other electives to your schedule,
often with the assistance of the coordinator for the course.
- [Instructor] Building your schedule
will happen on a rolling basis, after the lottery's close.
You may add and drop yourself from many offerings,
including those that require you to populate related forms.
Enrollment in many courses is restricted,
often by a wait list.
You are not enrolled in a wait-listed course
until approved by the course coordinator in OASIS.
Questions? Contact the course coordinator.
- [Instructor] Again, you're not expected to emerge
from the lottery with a fully-built schedule,
but you are ultimately responsible for ensuring
that all advanced integration level enrollment blocks
are filled with coursework, vacation weeks,
or a leave of absence.
Find the enrollment blocks for your class online.
Advanced integration level degree requirements
are listed online, and must be scheduled by January 1st.
- [Instructor] You can still make a modification
to your schedule after this date,
just use OASIS to monitor your degree requirements
under the Degree Progress tab.
- [Instructor] You may wish to pause this video
to note resources on your screen.
Be sure to check out the FAQs and the helpful tips
in the user guide.
After reviewing the resources,
please submit any questions you still have via email
to studentcomservices@med.uvm.edu
so that they can be addressed at the student meeting.
- [Instructor] On behalf
of the Medical Student Services Team,
thank you for taking the time to watch this tutorial.
Enjoy your fourth year.
