Electives Book - The Elective Curriculum section. Acute care requirement must be satisfied at Duke SoM and cannot be satisfied away from Duke. The sentence that says "In addition, all students must take a four-week critical care elective at Duke or a Study Away institution" is listed in error. The sentence should say "In additional, all students must take an approved four-week, four-credit course that is approved to satisfy the acute care course requirement at Duke. The course should be taken simultaneously with the Acute Care Curriculum course (INTERDIS 401C), unless the student is in the PCLT track or approval has been received from the acute care curriculum course director to do otherwise."
