An introduction to three learning strategies proven to enhance long-term retention of new material. Rather than relying on techniques that promote short-term memorization of facts for exams and result in little to no retention afterwards, students will complete three modules, each of which focuses on a proven study strategy. Students will have opportunities to practice each strategy within the course and will receive advice about how best to use them going forward.

Addresses basic science concepts students encounter in chemistry and biology courses that serve as prerequisites for medical, physician assistant, dental, and veterinary schools. Newly developed illustrations, animations, and interactive models will reinforce the role each concept plays in an important disease encountered worldwide, thereby providing a clinical context to this material.

Students will complete three modules addressing cardiovascular physiology, glucose absorption, and respiratory physiology, and relevant diseases associated with each system. Each module will be presented in a clinical context and will use four learning modalities: reading text, viewing animations and illustrations, watching videos, and answering questions.

Students will complete three modules addressing the fetal circulation, glucose homeostasis, and the cardiac cycle, and diseases associated with each. Each module will be presented in a clinical context and will use four learning modalities: reading text, viewing animations and illustrations, watching videos, and answering questions.

Students will complete three modules addressing cellular energy production, cardiac conduction system, and oxygen uptake and release, and relevant diseases associated with each. Each module will be presented in a clinical context and will use four learning modalities: reading text, viewing animations and illustrations, watching videos, and answering questions.

Course will provide students with knowledge of how to perform and interpret clinical techniques used for evaluation and management of common conditions requiring emergency and/or critical care in large animal veterinary medicine. Case vignettes will be used to illustrate clinical reasoning and application of information covered across several species.

Provides students with clinical experience admitting, diagnosing, and managing large animal emergency and critical care cases in a referral hospital setting. Students will be included in topic and case rounds and case work-up and treatment alongside clinical-year veterinary students, interns, and residents.

Course is designed to help pre-medicine students prepare for the MCAT. Foundational concepts from chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and psychology will be revisited using text, animations, and interactive elements with guidance from first-year medical students. Mastery of the material will require application of critical thinking skills to clinical medicine.

This is the second of two courses in which pre-medical students revisit concepts from previous courses (chemistry, biology, and biochemistry) that are critical to their success in medical school. Students are required to demonstrate their understanding of the material, practice critical thinking skills, and relate the concepts to clinical medicine.

Faculty-supervised independent or collaborative inquiry into fundamental and applied problems within a discipline that requires students to gather, analyze, synthesize, and interpret data and to present results in writing and other relevant communication formats.
