Ohio State University (College of Medicine)

FIRST YEAR In the FIRST YEAR at Ohio State, you'll study gross anatomy and embryology as part of a six-member student team that you will share the first 12 weeks of medical school with. The seeds of working together toward mutual success are planted during this time. You�ll develop critical-analysis and problem- solving skills that put you on the path to being a lifelong learner. Now you join one of the two curricular pathways to learn about the body systems. Also, the Patient- Centered Medicine and Physician Development courses take place weekly, combining small group role-playing settings, lectures, and experiences in the community. Patient-Centered Medicine, acclaimed by the prestigious Institute of Medicine in 2004 as a model curriculum, is a two-year course devoted to teaching both the art and science of medicine. It provides essential training in the behavioral and social sciences around several content areas, including: Professionalism, Ethics, Palliative Medicine, Cultural Awareness, Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Medical Careers, Violence, Sexuality, and Addiction. It also features time with a health agency of your choice � a valuable experience in understanding social and health care issues in communities. In the Physician Development course, you will become familiar with physical exam instruments and will lay the building blocks of how to do a thorough patient interview. You will also participate in patient care experiences with community preceptors. SECOND YEAR You'll continue in your selected pathway for the SECOND YEAR of medical education, further strengthening your clinical interviewing skills, learning how to do a comprehensive physical examination, and building your diagnostic abilities. Working with real and standardized patients, you'll gain an appreciation for the pathophysiology of disease. THIRD YEAR As you move full-time into the THIRD-YEAR setting of clinical training, your rotations will start off with a two-week clerkship. You will spend the next 12 months in a range of experiences, including ambulatory primary care medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, surgery, internal medicine, psychiatry, neurology, and pediatrics. FOURTH YEAR Your FOURTH YEAR of medical school features four Differentiation of Care Selectives covering the undifferentiated patient, chronic care, sub-internship in internal medicine, and a sub-internship in surgical care. You will have great flexibility your fourth year, with four months of elective rotations and three months of vacation.
