MD Medicine

The department provides education for medical students, interns and residents (post-MD students), faculty, and practitioners. In the first two years of medical student education, departmental faculty hold key leadership and teaching roles in Problem-Based Learning, Colloquia, Basic Science Correlations, Clinical Skills Preceptorship, and many BIOM courses. In these early years, the curriculum integrates humanities, social sciences, and the physical and biological sciences. The curriculum also promotes skills in hypothesis formulation, data acquisition and evaluation, clinical problem-solving, and effective communication with patients, their families, and other members of the health team.
