    Offered by: Medicine and Health Sciences (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences)

    Overview

    Interdisciplinary Studies : This course includes integrated assessments that will occur longitudinally throughout the rotations in core clerkship and at the end of each of the 3 core clerkship blocks. During each rotation student鈥檚 performance in the clinical setting will be assessed using a work-based assessment tool that will focus on all of the competencies in a stage-appropriate way. At the end of each block, students will sit a written test, i.e. the progress test. A progress test is a test that is representative of all the knowledge domain of a curriculum and is sat by classes at different stages of the curriculum. Each test will have the same blueprint which will represent a broad sample of the knowledge base of the curriculum as a whole. The tests will aim to assess knowledge application rather than solely recall.

As students will have completed their clinical clerkship courses prior to attending this course, this is an excellent opportunity to remind them of basic science principles and concepts and relate these to the clinical setting. In this course, students will also be focus on more complex clinical judgment which is centered on the particular encounter of doctor and patient, medical judgment broadens the context to include other kinds of 鈥減articulars鈥� and other individuals 鈥� families, cultures, political actors, the law, institutions and their leaders, researchers, and even journalists.
