Each week’s schedule
incorporates a variety of teaching/learning methods, including:
• case-based learning (CBL) in small discussion groups;
• lectures and panel discussions in large groups;
• laboratory experiences covering gross anatomy, histology, osteopathic
medical manipulation and/or clinical skills;
• problem sets; and
• generous time allotments reserved for student-directed study.
This mix of learning opportunities encourages the development of each
student’s individual knowledge base and, more importantly, promotes a
cross-disciplinary, clinically-relevant understanding of the clinical
presentation under consideration in that week.
Simulated patient labs
and clinical and community experiences, then, provide real-world
opportunities for students to apply what they have already learned and
to gain new understandings.
