We follow a systems approach, which is a multi-disciplinary way of teaching body systems as they relate to clinical medicine. Consistent with our osteopathic emphasis, students learn to consider the overall needs of the patient rather than treating an isolated medical problem.
Basic sciences faculty and clinicians have joint responsibility for planning and teaching.
As a result, lecture material is presented in a comprehensive, meaningful manner. Knowledge builds upon knowledge as the various systems are studied. Through the systems approach, basic science and clinical medicine are studied concurrently after most of the first year courses have been completed. As early as the end of the first year, students begin applying clinical knowledge through the physical diagnosis course. Thus, the intricacies of the human body are presented in relation to the health problems of the whole person.
