It is important to remember that these course represent the first steps in a life long process of learning clinical medicine. Students practice doing complete histories and physical examinations on patients under a tutor s supervision. One course book provides the text covered during the fall trimester for year one and provides supplemental articles for the ethics tutorials. Both course books are available in the Health Sciences bookstore. These group assignments are sent to students prior to the first tutorial session.
Tutorials meet weekly for ten weeks.
Clinical Medicine II students also attend three workshops on neurology. Workshop schedules are posted during the first part of the course. Tutors arrange for a place and time for their students to take the test with another tutor. Examining tutors are to go over the form with the student, and the form should be returned to Shea Peeples of the Curriculum Office. Tutor evaluations in Clinical Medicine II are based on bedside performance and the case write-ups.
