At the University of Illinois, they put us in Histo, Physio, Anatomy (with Embryo tacked on), Biochem, Psychiatry, and a Clinical Course. How many are you guys in, and what schools do you go to?
at cornell med we have consectuve blocks that integrate several subjects into one our first year, with our clinical/ethics course called medicine, patients, and society that runs all year long.
"molecules to cells" biochem, cell bio, histo
"fundamentals of genetic medicine" genetics, some cell bio
"human structure and function" anatomy, physiology, little embryology
At University of Kentucky we are on the block system for schience classes with some other classes mixed in that run over multiple blocks......
1st year
First Block:
Anatomy
Histology
Healthy Human (a course that teaches everything you already knew about medicine, like eat healthy, exercise right, etc.)
Runs from August 10 or so til First week of November or so
2nd Block:
Biochemistry
Genetics
Introduction to the Medical Profession (Teaches interviewing skills, physical exam, etc. also runs til almost the end of the year)
Patients, Physicians and Society (Discuss topics relevant to medicine and its practice. runs til end of year)
This block runs from about beginning of november til beginning of February or so.
3rd Block:
Neuroanatomy
This block runs from beginning of February til about start of April
4th block:
Physiology
This block runs from April til first week of July
This schedule is very doable. it is nice to have a limited number of science classes at any given time. It kinda sucks to sacrifice half the summer, though.
molecular foundations of medicine first 9 weeks
anatomy second 9 weeks
practice of medicine is all year
i guess that's the first semester
mfm combined biochem, genetics cell bio and all that jazz
1 class at a time is nice
