| Description of
course : |
| This
is an introductory program designed to enhance the overall
professional developmental development of the medical
student. Through a series of lectures and didactic sessions
that are complemented the same afternoon by small group
sessions/tutorial and demonstrations, the students will
be able to acquire the attitudes and skills necessary
for effective functioning of a physician – which
have traditionally been only acquired as part of a hidden
curriculum. In addition the course provides for a mentoring
process in which a small group of students (approximately
6-8) will be in contact with the same facilitator for
close to two years of the most crucial period of their
education. |
