Description: Further to the first and second year courses students will refine their history taking and physical examination skills. Emphasis will be on differential diagnoses, clinical decision-making skills, and further investigation and therapeutic management of common clinical problems, while continuing to understand the patient’s illness experience. During the 8 month Comprehensive Community Clerkship (CCC), students will be exposed to community-based clinical practices, emergency medicine, in-patient care, obstetrical care, and surgical care. Teaching will include small group tutorials, bedside and ambulatory care instruction, and clinicopathological conferences.
