Instruction in Medicine is provided during all four years of the medical curriculum, beginning with The Practice of Medicine I in the first year. Teaching in the second year has two main objectives: the correlation of the basic sciences with clinical aspects of disease and training in the technical methods of physical examination and laboratory diagnosis. By the beginning of the third year, the student is ready for supervised clinical study of individual patients.
A clinical clerkship of 12 weeks, divided into three four-week periods, is served by third-year students on the medical services of the department. In the final year, students may elect a subinternship in general medicine and a series of elective courses in the medical specialties.
