Objectives of the Curriculum
The curriculum is based on a set of fundamental premises:The basic sciences and scientific methodology are fundamental pillars of medical knowledge.
A physician fulfills two roles in service to the patient: that of a professional and of a healer. This is referred to as ‘physicianship’.
THEMES Physicianship; Family medicine longitudinal experience; Public health; Evidence-based medicine; Research; Inter-professionalism; Student Wellness and Career Advising; Diversity; Indigenous Health; Patient Safety; Ethics & Law; Emphasis on community-based care
FMD Objectives“The human body reacts to an infinite number of insults in a finite number of ways. By identifying all of these ways, the domain of medical knowledge can be defined in a comprehensive manner.” (Mandin 2003)
The MCC Clinical Presentations (120) attempt to capture all the reasons patients visit doctors.
The MD, CM program should equip every graduate with the knowledge and skills to handle these CP’s.
CPs are a vehicle through which applied scientific concepts are taught.
TCP Objectives Preparing students for clerkship:
• Universal precautions (protecting patients and themselves);
• Minor procedural skills• Differential Diagnosis• Increased practical application of clinical
method (interview/physical examination on patients)
• No patient responsibility
Core and Senior Clerkships Continue to develop differential
diagnosis Patient management (approach to
treatment of common diseases) Increased patient responsibility (as
part of healthcare team) Exposure to specialties requiring an
advanced knowledge base (e.g., geriatrics, emergency, surgery).
