• 00:00Hello. My name is Jeremy
• 00:02Moller.
• 00:02I am the associate dean
• 00:04for the MD curriculum at
• 00:05Yale School of Medicine.
• 00:07In this video, I will
• 00:09guide you through some of
• 00:10the important elements of our
• 00:11curriculum that we have designed
• 00:12to educate and nurture our
• 00:14students to be creative leaders
• 00:16in medicine and science while
• 00:17promoting their curiosity in an
• 00:19inclusive environment.
• 00:22Our curriculum consists of three
• 00:24phases.
• 00:26The first phase covers the
• 00:27first year and a half
• 00:28of medical school and is
• 00:29called the pre clerkship phase.
• 00:31This period includes integrated and
• 00:33longitudinal courses focusing on the
• 00:35structure and function of the
• 00:37human body in health and
• 00:38disease.
• 00:39There are also longitudinal courses
• 00:41with a focus on population
• 00:43health and epidemiology,
• 00:45principles of medical science, and
• 00:47professionalism and ethics.
• 00:49Students learn through a variety
• 00:50of pedagogies with a special
• 00:52emphasis on interactive small groups
• 00:54that foster teamwork,
• 00:55critical thinking, and clinical reasoning.
• 00:58From the beginning, students learn
• 01:00and practice clinical skills and
• 01:02have a number of opportunities
• 01:03to work with patients.
• 01:05Following the completion of the
• 01:06first year of the curriculum
• 01:07in June, students have opportunities
• 01:09to engage in research projects
• 01:11and to be involved in
• 01:12community outreach programs.
• 01:15The second phase of the
• 01:16curriculum is known as the
• 01:18clerkship phase.
• 01:19This phase begins in January
• 01:21of the second year and
• 01:22is characterized by an immersion
• 01:24into the clinical setting as
• 01:25part of health care teams.
• 01:28This period contains four twelve
• 01:30week longitudinal
• 01:31integrated clerkships
• 01:33called the biopsychosocial
• 01:35approach to health,
• 01:37medical approach to the patient,
• 01:39surgical approach to the patient,
• 01:41and women and children's health.
• 01:43On the first day of
• 01:45each twelve week clerkship block,
• 01:47all clerkship students engage in
• 01:48a full class pre seed
• 01:50focused on topics such as
• 01:52communication,
• 01:53professionalism,
• 01:54end of life care, and
• 01:55health equity.
• 01:58The last seventeen months of
• 01:59the curriculum are called the
• 02:01advanced training period.
• 02:03During this period, students have
• 02:05great flexibility that they use
• 02:06to identify the clinical specialty
• 02:08that they will apply to
• 02:09for residency
• 02:11and to focus on advanced
• 02:12clinical training.
• 02:14This flexible period also allows
• 02:16students the opportunity to engage
• 02:18in additional research and scholarly
• 02:20activities,
• 02:21to complete their thesis,
• 02:23to take a variety of
• 02:24clinical or global health electives,
• 02:26and to devote time to
• 02:28community health advocacy.
• 02:30At the end of the
• 02:31advanced training period, students participate
• 02:33in a capstone course for
• 02:35which the entire graduating class
• 02:37comes back together to review
• 02:39important concepts and practice essential
• 02:41skills for residency.
• 02:44Capstone students also have the
• 02:46opportunity to engage in residency
• 02:47boot camps
• 02:48designed to assist them in
• 02:50the transition to residency in
• 02:51the specialty they have matched
• 02:53in.
• 02:54Finally,
• 02:55the last month of the
• 02:56ATP is a time of
• 02:57great celebration
