Calls for curricular reform in medical schools and enhanced integration of basic clinical science have resulted a shift toward preclerkship curricula that enhance the relevance foundational instruction provide students with earlier immersion environment. These reforms shortened curricula, yet promise integrated education into clerkships has not been sufficiently realized because barriers such as nature practice, time constraints, limited faculty knowledge. As personalized medicine requires...
Complementary and integrative medicine (CIM) use in the USA continues to expand, including within Military Health System (MHS) Veterans Administration (VHA). To mitigate opioid crisis provide additional non-pharmacological pain management options, a large cross-agency collaborative project sought develop implement systems-wide curriculum, entitled Acupuncture Training Across Clinical Settings (ATACS).

The majority of medical students complete the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 after their foundational sciences; however, there are compelling reasons to examine this practice.

Schools undergoing curricular reform are reconsidering the optimal timing of Step 1. This study provides a psychometric investigation impact on United States Medical Licensing Examination 1 scores changing from after completion basic science curricula to core clerkships.Data four schools that recently moved examination were analyzed in pre-post format using examinee three years before and change. The sample included 2008 through 2016. Several confounders addressed, including rising national...

Purpose To investigate the effect of a change in United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 timing on 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, lag time CK performance, and relationship incoming College Admission Test (MCAT) score to performance pre post change. Method Four schools that moved after core clerkships between academic years 2008–2009 2017–2018 were analyzed. Standard t tests used examine scores Tests differences proportions evaluate whether failure rates differed curricular...
Several schools have moved the United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 exam after core clerkships, and others are considering this change. Delaying may improve performance lower failure rates. Schools moving particularly concerned about late identification of struggling students failures, which can be problematic due to reduced time remediate accumulated debt if remediation is ultimately unsuccessful. In literature published date, little attention has been given these students....
Theory: We used two theoretical frameworks for this study: a) experiential learning, whereby learners construct new knowledge based on prior experience, and learning grows out of a continuous process reconstructing b) deliberate practice, the use testing (test-enhanced learning) promotes produces better long-term retention. Hypothesis: hypothesized that moving USMLE Step 1 exam to follow clerkship year would provide students with context basic science may enhance performance. also...
