Flexible Professional Experiences | Course Proposal | Student Design | Explorations 24-25

The self-designed FPE is your opportunity to develop an experience that isn’t offered anywhere else in the medical school curriculum. These experiences can be done within the medical school or at an outside institution.

It's important to remember that FPEs are not intended to be one-week periods of independent study. Rather, the course offers the student the opportunity and potential to design permanent student-created UMass Chan curriculum, to demonstrate interest and commitment to top tier residency programs, and to highlight leadership skills and professional competency on your curriculum vitae by engaging in curriculum development as a medical undergraduate.

Of note...

All self-designed FPEs must be submitted for approval by the FPE course leadership via this form
- self-designed FPEs must be approved by appropriate clinical department administrative staff before submission to the FPE course leadership
- self-designed FPEs must include a minimum of 50% patient-facing time. No 100% research-based experiences will be approved.
International FPEs require additional documentation found on the OUME International Medical Education website.
