There are three major characteristics of the Integrated Medical Curriculum that are designed to aid learning and build life-long learning skills. 1. Basic science material is integrated across disciplines. For example, rather than learning about membranes in one course (Physiology) and cell signaling in another course (Biochemistry), material will be presented in Molecules Cells and Tissues that integrates membrane structure and function with cell-signaling concepts. This holistic approach should make it easier for students to understand and learn the material. 2. Basic science material is integrated with clinical science material. Each week's topic is linked to one or more clinical cases that may be presented as problems to solve. Thus, students immediately use the basic science material in a clinical setting, applying it in a problem-solving mode. This will not only make learning more interesting, it will aid retention of the material. As the curriculum progresses into the second year, the clinical cases become more complex, enabling students to both review and build their knowledge base. 3. The problem-solving challenges are designed to foster independent learning and build life-long learning skills. The more actively involved students are in the learning experience, the more they will retain. This will serve students well as they continue to learn throughout their careers.
