Longitudinal Integrated Clerkships
The Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) in the MCW-Central Wisconsin Discovery curriculum makes your experience unique from our other campuses. You will gain experience in all required clerkship specialties throughout LIC.
Acting Internships
The acting internship, regardless of which department/division offers it, is designed to preview the responsibilities of an intern. You are required to complete a four-week core acting internship and a second four-week acting internship chosen from the list of approved rotations. All of the goals and key features will be accomplished with the appropriate supervision by senior residents and attending physicians.
Symptoms
Symptoms unit integrates basic science courses, history and physical findings, knowledge of clinical correlations and understanding of demographic and psychological factors influencing patient presentation and treatment, through a clinical symptom-based process. You'll bring together what you have learned about normal and abnormal gross and cellular structure, biochemistry, physiology, neoplasia and the role of microorganisms in each of the organ-based units. You'll then apply this knowledge in patients presenting with a particular symptom.
Electives
MCW-Central Wisconsin offers a wide variety of local elective opportunities for you to choose from, along with additional options at the MCW-Milwaukee campus and away rotations.
Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
The CPD course is the continuation of the early clinical coursework to ensure your continued competency progression in the clinical setting. This course assigns one clinical faculty director to a cohort of students. The CPD director monitors and measures your performance and competencies based on your cumulative performance in the required components. You'll work one-on-one with your CPD director to manage an Individualized Learning Plan. A Capstone experience is included in your final year, which provides a broad exposure to practical clinical issues commonly faced by residents early in their residency.
