Curriculum
In 1993, the University of Missouri School of Medicine
implemented a curriculum that substantially reduced lectures
in favor of patient-based learning. The curriculum emphasizes
problem solving, self-directed learning and early clinical
experiences rather than memorization. The rst and second
years each consist of four 10-week blocks. The third year is
made up of seven core clerkships. The fourth year consists of
advanced clinical selectives, advanced biomedical selectives
and general electives. The curriculum’s success is illustrated in
the following graph of national licensing exam scores.
