I came across it when reading US National Resident Matching Program manual.(NRMP). The exact phrase is below. I was wondering wether it is a pre-internship program. Is it mostly basic science or clinical? "Program directors base their selections on medical school transcripts, particularly clerkship grades, the Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) or dean’s letter, letters of recommendation, research experience, publications, and the personalstatement from the ERAS application." website: www.ecfmg.org Lonelymelody Grammar
