UNSOM Curriculum
The University of Nevada School of Medicine (UNSOM) blends traditional coursework with early clinical learning experiences. Introduction to Patient Care is a two year course which exposes students to the fundamentals of patient history taking, the physical exam, and clinical diagnosis. The Clinical Problem Solving (Year 1-2) and Clinical Reasoning in Medicine (Year 3) course set extends this process through patient case management. Traditional Basic Science courses and Clinical Clerkships provide a rounded education for our future physicians. In addition, UNSOM students are required to take a 4 week Advanced Clinical Experience in Rural Health Care in the 4th Year.
Our Institutional Objectives are based on an adapted form of the ACGME competencies for residencies. Our course list and schematic may be viewed on the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Curriculum Directory website.
