The Pre-Clinical Capstone is a required course that provides an opportunity for student synthesis and integration of all pre-clinical content and concepts. It is designed to facilitate student self-assessment of key concepts in biomedical disciplines and development of knowledge in areas of weakness. This is accomplished through a Board Study Plan and multiple practice board exams which will allow for student identification of knowledge gaps. Practice board exams provide students with measures of readiness at various stages leading up to the actual board exam. Throughout the course students work in a self-directed manner to complete required practice item banks and study additional board prep materials with concentration on those areas identified for improvement. Students are expected to achieve a performance threshold in practice board exams before engaging in the actual board exams
Successful completion of all Year 1 and 2 coursework
