Hey guys!

I have a few questions for you.

I will be graduating next year and I'm planning either to get a job in California or to get a fellowship there. Which is why I'm applying for licensure in the state of California.

If anyone is familiar with the PTAL, I have 2 questions about the form L5 in the PTAL:

1. What do they exactly mean by core clinical activities? Do they mean only direct, hands-on treatment of the patients? Or they include the number of lectures during those clerkships, too?

2. In the same form, they want me to mention the number of weeks OR weekly clinical hours for each clerkship. Do you know how many hours do they equate a week of clinical activity to?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
