IV. Clinical curriculum

The clinical curriculum of the Chang Gung School of Medicine is based on the diagnosis and treatment of the patient’s body structures and functions. The curriculum will be Body Organ system-based; portions of the courses are integrated into the general medicine offered in the 2^nd semester of the 4^th year. In the 5^th year, clinical medicine will be presented in the form of systemic integration and classification. The curriculum is divided into two parts: the first part is focused on lectures, CBL & PBL of body organ and functional system design, simultaneously bolstered with clerkship of core clinical courses. Each system will incorporate case studies of clinical presentation to enhance student learning. In the second part, students will enter clinical rotation of holistic medical clerkship practice. The design and evaluation of the courses are based on achieving the six major core competencies with multiple evaluation systems including MCQ, OSCE, Mini-CEX, DOPS, 360 degree evaluation etc. At the end of clinical training, students will be evaluated with Objective Structured Clinical Examination to gauge their learning outcomes.
