Curriculum

The goals of our curriculum are to:

Teach basic science and clinical medicine longitudinally interwoven, just as medicine is practiced
Emphasize physician competencies: knowledge, clinical skills, professionalism, humanism, and cultural competencies
Base objectives on content that is evidence-based, outcomes-oriented, and features case-based learning that highlights quality and safety, and addresses health disparities
Promote longitudinal relationships between faculty and students
Enhance use of simulation and standardized patients in clinical training
Enhance use of adult learning styles with emphasis on lifelong learning, self-assessment, critical appraisal and use of information technology
Provide training that is interdisciplinary, in interprofessional teams, reflecting realistic scenarios of actual practice

Phase 1 (pre-clerkship)

Curriculum will teach basic sciences knowledge in a clinical context, increasing clinical faculty participation in learning activities. The curriculum will employ current educational best practices, reducing lecture time and embracing active learning strategies with opportunities for independent and self-directed learning. Doctoring in Phase 1 will emphasize skills necessary to begin clinical clerkships, with other content integrated in Phases 2 and 3 (core and advanced clinical clerkships).

Phases 2 and 3 (core and advanced clinical clerkships)

Give students the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills and professional attributes necessary for residency specialty training and for the practice of medicine. Faculty assess progress in meeting our graduation competencies and give feedback to students to help them meet their goals and ensure that they are prepared for residency in all fields of medicine.
