Course Information and Policies

Course Organization

MCP will occur in six out of the total of nine units spaced throughout the MSI year.  The material presented will form a foundation for subsequent course work and will coordinate with the other basic science courses in years 1 and 2.

Lectures

The lectures have been designed to provide a systematic, coherent introduction to the essential course content. The course syllabus and other handouts complement the lectures and facilitate notetaking. Recommended readings in texts and in materials placed on Blackboard also complement the lectures and enrich the learning experience.

Small Group Activities

The course includes two different types of small group activities: Clinical Problem (CP) sessions and Conferences.

A general overview of the nine units comprising MSI is shown below. The relative proportion of the MCP course to be presented in each of six units is provided.
