Student Learning Approach

1. Definition of course objectives.
• Every course has learning objectives and includes a plan that will guide students through mastery of those objectives.
• The utilization of appropriate assessment tools to ensure students meet the required objectives.
• Exams that assess student preparation, participation, critical thinking skills and knowledge application.
• Evaluation through various formats that assesses each student’s capability to demonstrate problem solving and professionalism.
2. Small Group setting.
• Multidisciplinary PBL cases in all courses.
• Small group sessions consisting of PBL, laboratories, conferences, seminars, and computer-assisted learning, which complement full class overview lectures.
3. Clinical Exposure
• Clinical exposure begins during the first week of medical school and continues through all of the basic sciences semesters.
• The development of clinical skills.
• Tracking cases throughout the semester that build upon content knowledge being mastered in the basic sciences.
