Virtual Tour of MD Curriculum Class of 2022 Richard Riley, Ph.D. Associate Dean for Pre-Clinical Curriculum

UMMSM MD Program Welcome MD Class of 2022! We are so very pleased that you have chosen the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and look forward to working with you to achieve your goals. In this powerpoint, we will provide a brief summary of the “high points” of the curriculum for the MS-1 year as well as an overall view of the medical curriculum for the MD program.

The educational mission of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is to graduate physicians with the ability and commitment to improve the health of all populations through their leadership in patient care, research, education, and the community.   Updated March 2016, Ratified June 2016

After completing the educational program for the MD degree, our graduates will demonstrate: 1. Biomedical and behavioral science knowledge appropriate for the practice of clinical medicine by all physicians; 2. Clinical skills proficiency, including eliciting a medical history, performing a complete physical examination, oral presentation and written documentation of patient cases, and basic technical procedures; 3. Application of knowledge and skills to clinical decision making and the practice of medicine, including formulating differential diagnoses, and a diagnostic and therapeutic plan; 4. Preventive medicine and population health knowledge and skills, including the ability to identify persons/populations at risk for common and important health problems and to apply appropriate preventive measures, including screening, health education, and other forms of risk reduction; 5. Critical assessment of biomedical literature and evidence-based management of health problems For Review - UMMSM’s Institutional Educational Objectives, revised, updated and approved by the faculty in March 2016. Institutional Educational Objectives, Updated March 2016 4

After completing the educational program for the MD degree, our graduates will demonstrate: 6. Self-directed, life-long learning skills, including the recognition of personal educational needs, use of appropriate learning resources and evaluation of progress; 7. Professionalism including the demonstration of responsibility, empathy, reflective practice, cultural humility, and adherence to ethical principles; 8. Communication skills, with patients, families, colleagues, and health care personnel; 9. Interprofessional skills as a collaborative member of the healthcare team; 10. Understanding of the role and responsibility of the physician as a leader in the healthcare delivery system and in society. Institutional Educational Objectives, Updated March 2016 5

The First and Second Years: The MD curriculum begins with the Basic Science Core, a set of 4 integrated courses designed to instruct in the foundations of basic science principles in the disciplines of biochemistry, embryology, histology, genetics, anatomy, biophysics, immunology, microbiology, pharmacology, and pathology needed to understand both normal and pathologic organ system functions and disease. The Basic Science Core courses are followed by organ system specific courses; this occurs in the second semester of the MS-1 year and comprise the medical courses in the MS-2 year. In parallel with the Basic Science Core/Organ System courses in the MS-1 and MS-2 years is instruction in clinical skills and participation in clinical experiences. These aims are met via the Doctoring courses. New this year are 2 Problem Based Learning modules in the MS1 year, each a week long, which will serve to promote self-directed learning, communication and presentation skills, and integrate the foundational science courses—all within a clinical framework. The Third and Fourth Years: The clerkship years of the MD curriculum focus on core, required, and elective experiences in the clinical disciplines. Several “maps” of the medical curriculum follow, with emphasis on the MS-1 and MS-2 courses. Also, opportunities for assessment of competencies and preparation for USMLE Step 1 are highlighted.
