Top Question - What did the New Curriculum Refresh Entail?
We refreshed our curriculum, we did redo it. We took our already innovative and integrated curriculum and brought it to the next level. This is a slightly accelerated curriculum to get students into clinical learning environment sooner. In this refresh, we moved from learning normal and then abnormal to integrating these concepts together by system. We added a comprehensive multi-systems course at the end before dedicated step study. This refresh gives a lot more flexibility for unique pathways with the extra time, including students who may need additional time to study for step and/or have life events that alter plans, as well as options for research blocks and electives.
