4-year modern. Med 1 and Med 2 students have their choice of 2 curricular pathways: Integrated Pathway or Independent Study Pathway. The Integrated Pathway features body systems-oriented content that fuses the basic and clinical sciences. It combines the proven educational methods of student-centered active learning, small-group case-based discussion, and lectures. The Independent Study Pathway allows students to utilize highly structured objectives, resource guides, and weband computer-based materials to learn on their own. First year: Study of gross anatomy and embryology as part of a 6-member student team for the first 12 weeks of medical school. Critical analysis and problem-solving skills will be developed as students learn about the body systems. Patient-centered medicine and physician development courses take place weekly, combining small group role-playing settings, lectures, and experiences with senior citizens and physicians in the community. Second year: Students continue in their selected pathways, further strengthening clinical interviewing skills, learning how to do a comprehensive physical examination, and building diagnostic abilities. Working with real and standardized patients, students gain an appreciation for the pathophysiology of disease. Third year: Begins with a 2-week Introduction to Clinical Medicine. The next 12 months are spent in a range of experiences, including ambulatory primary care medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, itnernal medicine, psychiatry, neurology, pediatrics, and surgery. Fourth year: This year features 4 Diffentiation of Care selectives covering the undifferentiated patient, chronic care, a subinternship in internal medicine, and a subinternship in surgical care.
