MDD 5101 Integrated Clinical Practice 1A

3 Hours

This is a longitudinal course where students will learn the basics of clinical medicine through extensive use of simulation with standardized patients and didactic instruction from core clinician educators. Students develop evidence-based skills of critical judgment and medical problem-solving necessary to actively participate in the evaluation of real patients within the clinical setting. A central component of this course is the Longitudinal Clinical Experience preceptorship in which students will actively participate in a primary care clinic one half-day per week. Early immersion into the clinical setting provides students with an opportunity to link didactic knowledge with real-world applications.
