Note: This course has an enrollment minimum of six. We will be in touch with enrolled students prior to the start of the period as to whether this course will run.

Catalog Description: This course focuses on building upon the clinical skills learned in the first three years of medical school and incorporating an evidence-based approach to making high-value, patient-centered medical decisions. Students work with a variety of expert faculty to hone physical examination skills and learn critical article appraisal and presentation skills through small group work. Students will also gain an introduction to the use of point-of-care ultrasound as part of the physical examination.
