Overview
Through didactic and small group sessions, the course will teach advanced clinical skills, translational basic science, and thread material that is vital to doctoring, but underrepresented in the clinical blocks.

Attendance and Remediation:
Students who register for the course but plan to miss one or more sessions must contact the course director at least one month prior to the start of the course. Students must review the Absence Request Policy and complete an Absence Request Form (http://www.uchsc.edu/som/curriculum/icc/policy.html). This form must be emailed to both course directors and the course administrator. Remediation of missed content is required for all absences, voluntary and involuntary. Students who unexpectedly have to miss sessions should contact the course director as soon as possible to discuss the situation. Students will receive an IP until the remediation is satisfactorily completed. Remediation will be due two weeks after the completion of the course.

***** As this is a required course, random attendance will be taken during this course; anyone not present may be checked for attendance on subsequent days. All absences must be remediated.
