“He who studies medicine without books sails an uncharted sea, but he who studies medicine without patients does not go to sea at all.” • Sir William Osler

Our Approach • Block schedule • One of the first medical schools to offer • Intensive, concentrated exposure to each area • Emphasis on patient presentations and management • Flexible afternoon scheduling • Basic science courses scheduled in the mornings

Curriculum Goals • Integrate biomedical and clinical science • Promote critical thinking • Develop problem-solving skills • Develop clinical reasoning skills • Apply a biopsychosocial model to patient care

Pre-Clinical Years • First two years of study • Hybrid Curriculum • Begin with essential principles of core knowledge • Integrated content based on organ systems • Focus on integrative thinking • Necessary for the clinical years of medical school • Successful modern physicians
