The Medicine, Behavior, and Society (MBS) module explores
the history, law, ethics, clinical, social and cultural contexts of medicine as
well as human behavior. The course focuses on global issues such as the health
care system and local issues such as border health. Students are introduced to
important skills including effective communication, professionalism, research,
and respect for cultural norms and values.
A hybrid course, learning activities occur in large and small groups as
well as individually and include team-based learning and case-based analysis
and discussion. Proposed assessments
include discrete point formative and summative activities and exams,
simulations, oral and written assignments as well as self-assessments.
This module is a 6-week course dispersed between first (4
weeks) and second year (2 weeks) of a four-year medical school curriculum.
