The purpose of this course is to provide pre-medical and Pre-Medical Admissions Pathway (P-MAP) students the framework for connecting basic science knowledge with clinical medicine concepts and practice. The course is designed mainly for people entering, or who are considering entering, medical school.

This course will provide a framework for the introduction of how the clinician depends on and utilizes the Basic Sciences in everyday medical practice. The course will focus on the following Organ Systems: Cardiac, Respiratory, Renal, Musculoskeletal, and Gastro-Intestinal. A brief overview will be presented initially of the Basic Science, prior to presenting clinical vignettes in which the students utilize their prior knowledge in solving clinical problems. The course will proceed in a spiraling manner bringing back prior organ systems as new ones are introduced.

The goal upon completion of this course is that students realize the critical connection between the Basic Sciences and Clinical Medicine. In addition, this course will also provide students with an understanding that when testing concepts of basic science they will be framed in the context of clinical scenarios.
