IMED 301 Internal Medicine - Transition to Clinical Practice.

(6) (Restriction(s): Open only to students in the M.D.,C.M. program.) In this six-week multidisciplinary course, the student has the opportunity to build further on the clinical skills developed in the Clinical Methods course. The students perform full history and physical examinations on assigned patients, write up the cases (including a discussion of the clinical - basic science correlations), and present the case orally to their tutors. Through bedside teaching sessions in small groups, they develop clinical skills. Seminars give an approach to the diagnosis of common problems in Internal Medicine.
