Hi all,

What are my chances to match into ophthalmology if I fail pediatrics clerkship in 3rd year?
 
Hi all,

it's certainly a red flag when you fail one of your core clerkships. this will be an issue for any residency you apply to.

you should have a good explanation for it.
 
The question is whether your school will make you remediate the rotation. If they do, will both grades be reported? My assumption is that when you fail a rotation, you remediate with the highest possible grade being PASS
 
The entire rotation went well except shelf, so when I pass on retaking the shelf, I think the grade shows as Condition pass instead of pass. I need to talk to the clerkship director
