The Internal Medicine Transition to Clinical Practice course is a 7-week course for second-year medical students with the objective to prepare students for internal medicine clerkship. The course focuses on diagnostic clinical reasoning, emphasizing approaches to common internal medicine presentations and synthesis from the history and physical examination to develop a differential diagnosis, a patient problem list, and an initial investigation plan. Oral presentation skills are also developed. Student work closely with attending faculty and senior residents in the small group tutorials and bedside teaching sessions which make up the cornerstones of this course. These are supplemented by formal teaching sessions by specialist physicians.
