This four-semester course is primarily delivered via a case-based format and integrates advanced level content in focused history taking, focused physical examination, development of diagnostic reasoning, pharmacotherapeutics and therapeutic/diagnostic procedures. Learners will also revisit didactic topics such as evidence-based practice, effective patient communication, ethical decision making, and professionalism. These courses signal the formal transition to practice, incorporating topics such as the business of medicine, access of resources for patients, systems-based practice, and advanced training (e.g. MAT training). (EPAs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10, 11, 13)
