ICM I

The Introduction to Clinical Medicine I (ICM) course is designed to introduce the knowledge, skills, and attitudes fundamental to the practice of medicine. In ICM I, students learn to conduct a medical interview, perform a general systematic physical examination on a healthy adult, and organize the information into an appropriate written record.

The history and physical examination is the cornerstone of clinical medicine; thus this course focuses on teaching these skills. In addition, you will be introduced to several topics pertinent to clinical medicine, such as nutrition, patient counseling, death and dying, epidemiology, and health care financing.
