About the Curriculum:

Our innovative Cells to Society curriculum, provides a comprehensive approach that integrates medical science and practice to teach foundational science in the context of how it is used by physicians in their clinical practice and provides learning experiences across a broad variety of clinical specialties and settings. This model emphasizes collaborative team and individual learning, student-faculty interactions, clinical skills education and clinical problem-solving, hands-on laboratories, hospital and community-based patient care, and opportunities to individualize learning. The Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) is an innovative program of teaching and assessment of the tasks students perform as they care for patients. The UVA Cells to Society curriculum prepares students to provide excellent patient-centered care, practice evidence-based medicine, and engage in lifelong learning.

The MD curriculum brings together the basic sciences and clinical practice for an integrated approach. This system-based learning model provides the framework for the four-year MD program. The curriculum is presented in three Phases. Phase 1 emphasizes the knowledge, skills and values needed to start practicing medicine. Phase 2 allows students to provide direct patient care under supervision while exploring different specialties. Phase 3 facilitates exploration of specialty areas of personal interest while preparing for residency.
