Other requirements are the completion of a 1-month primary care clerkship at one of the school’s affiliated institutions or elsewhere and also 1 month of neurology experience. All students must successfully complete an exercise with standardized patients designed to evaluate clinical competency.The system’s approach to medicine that forms the core of the curriculum has been favorably received by the students.
