the quizzes and class participation at the discretion of the course
director. Grades will be assigned as
follows: H = 93 to 100, HP = 84-92, P = 70 to 83.
Examinations will be structured to include multiple choice and/or essay questions. The format of the multiple-choice questions will be that recommended by USMLE.
Competency Curriculum:
This course will participate in Competency III: Using Science to Guide Diagnosis, Management, Therapeutics and Prevention.
