The didactic year is designed on the medical model to prepare students to become primary care clinicians. The three-semester didactic curriculum is built around medicine modules. Each module focuses on a particular organ system providing relevant instruction in anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic evaluation and pharmacology, as well as genetic implications and health maintenance strategies. Other courses of study include introduction to U.S. health care, history-taking and patient education skills, clinical skills, well child, public health and evidence-based medicine. As part of medicine modules, the anatomy portion utilizes cadaver dissection to complement lecture presentation.
