This 8-credit hour, semester-long course will be offered during Pre-clerkship Year 2 (Year 4 of the program). The course content will be integrated around multi-organ system clinical cases, building on a multidisciplinary approach to topics from the previous courses that will require critical thinking and clinical problem-solving skills. The key instructional strategies will include large group interactive lecturing, and small group problem-based and team-based learning. 

The main underlying aim of this course is to prepare students for the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) International Foundation of Medicine (IFOM), and the United States Medical Licensure Examinations (USMLE). As mandated by the CAA, a percentage of the official IFOM scores will contribute towards the summative assessment of the Integrated Multisystem course.
