For more information on the courses, modules, and clerkships listed, see the Yale School of Medicine Bulletin.
Content focuses on abnormal human biology; the teaching of clinical skills continues in weekly small group skill-building sessions and meetings with clinical tutors; several courses prepare students for complex medical decision-making. As in the first year, teaching methods include lectures, problem-based workshops, small group seminars, labs, and computer-based activities. More than half of all class time takes place in small-group activities.
