As you round out your second year, it is important to keep track of certain dates that YOU as a medical student must follow. These include deadlines for getting event tickets, ordering supplies for your upcoming clerkships or even when you have classes on a different campus. You can follow along here and make sure you are completing each item. You may also view this timeline as a graphic, to leave on your phone or your desk.

These are required for Transitions 2 (T2), surgery clerkship, and the OB-GYN clerkship. Order a suture kit.
The deadline to order suture kits is March 31.
Complimentary overnight housing is available to regional campus students who will be completing Transitions 2 on your regional campus but coming to Indianapolis to attend White Coat Ceremony and Orientation to Clerkships. There is no cost to you.
The reservation will include a one-night stay from Monday, April 28 to Tuesday, April 29 at a local hotel within proximity of the Indianapolis campus. This is an optional offer so you may also choose to stay with other friends or family that night, if you wish.
Please make your housing request using the housing request form. The deadline to complete the housing request form is March 21. Late requests cannot be honored. If you miss the deadline, you will need to arrange your own housing.
Once you complete the housing request form, you can expect to receive a confirmation email in early April. For questions about housing, please contact Sally Hoyda at sahoyda@iu.edu.
Start compliance requirements and review hospital onboarding requirements in February.
Some onboarding steps may take several weeks to complete, so it is better to begin the onboarding and compliance processes early to ensure that you can start clinical rotations on May 6, 2025. The deadline for onboarding initiation for Rotations 1 and 2 is Friday, March 28, 2025.
Check out the Hospital Onboarding site or in your RoadMap Canvas site for all onboarding initiation deadlines and site specific instructions.
For questions about onboarding/compliance, please contact compreq@iu.edu.
You will receive an email with your personalized link to register for the White Coat Ceremony. It is important that you respond whether you plan to attend the ceremony or will not be attending.
We have adopted a new process to guarantee that your name is pronounced correctly as you cross the stage. The registration process will walk you through the steps to provide your preferred name and verify your pronunciation. The registration is also your opportunity to reserve up to five guest tickets to the White Coat Ceremony and will receive your e-tickets in April to share with your guests. If you wish to have more than five guests, you may also request to be placed on the wait list for one or two more tickets. You will receive a separate email if tickets become available.
Please check your email for this message and unique link from MEDevent@iu.edu. Responses are due by March 26.
If you intend to bring guests (up to five) you must do so by this date. You will not receive tickets if they are not ordered by this date.
If you are a regional student that needs housing to attend the White Coat Ceremony, make sure you get the request in by this date. Late requests will not be accepted.
