Teaching in Phase 1
Phase 1 spans the first 16 months of the curriculum, and includes classroom, clinical, and community-based experiences, with the focus on gaining the foundational knowledge and skills from the Biomedical, Behavioral, Social, and Health System Sciences that students will use and apply throughout all Phases of the curriculum, and their future careers.
There are a number of opportunities for faculty to be involved in the delivery of the curriculum. Phase 1 consists of teaching either in your office or both large and small group settings. Faculty development tailored to support the unique needs of each program and offered in a variety of methods. Further curriculum information can be found here.
