Applicants not selected for an interview will also be notified electronically. Candidates being offered admission will be notified electronically of their acceptance to the program. Students placed on the alternate list or denied to the program will also be notified at this time. All admission decisions are communicated via email. Admission decisions are not communicated via phone. All decisions of the Council on Selection are final. In years 3 — 6, students are assigned to docent teams of year 3 — 6 students, a docent, a clinical pharmacologist, a clinical medical librarian, an education team coordinator and other health care professionals.
In this docent experience, students spend a half day per week every week assisting with outpatient care in a continuing care clinic. This team also works together on the internal medicine rotation two months out of the year in years 4 — 6. Students have the opportunity to work with faculty in both clinical and research settings. Students involved in research have the opportunity to present their findings each spring at the annual Student Research Summit, and funding is available to support student research projects.
The Office of Research Administration facilitates student research programs as well as coordinates supplemental research lectures and seminars. Students at the UMKC School of Medicine have the opportunity to develop community partnerships, provide community service and reflect upon their experiences.
Our graduates are able to establish a therapeutic relationship with patients, regardless of age or cultural background, and are able to communicate in an effective manner. It is important for both medical students and graduates to have an acute sense of professional behavior during interactions with others in clinical, academic, and co-curricular activities. Students master the professional behaviors of respect, compassion and empathy, altruism, honesty, excellence and accountability.
In addition, our students are taught the value of moral reasoning and ethical judgment and learn to identify ethical issues in medicine, evaluate ethical choices, and recommend and defend those choices. Our graduates have the ability to recognize individual patient value systems, while integrating moral reasoning and ethical judgment in the care of patients without compromising their own ethical integrity.
The medical knowledge students gain during their four years of medical training allows our graduates to apply both basic and clinical science to understand, explain and solve complex, multi-system problems. Our students receive four years of outstanding clinical education that sets them apart from other medical school graduates, allowing our students greater opportunity to evaluate problems from multiple perspectives and to identify an appropriate and rational solution to address those problems.
Additionally, our graduates are able to apply the knowledge, skills and concepts from all scientific perspectives to overall patient care. By acquiring practice-based learning and improvement skills , including how to access and evaluate medical information, students learn how to provide effective up-to-date patient care.
Through systems-based practice, our graduates are able to actively incorporate psychological, social, cultural and economic factors that influence both individual patients and communities. Our graduates have an increased awareness of the role diversity plays in the context of health care, and use this awareness to benefit patients and serve as better health advocates. Through a variety of teaching and learning strategies, students acquire the attitudes, knowledge and skills required for patient care through time-honored data gathering methods of history-taking and the physical examination, appropriate use and interpretation of tests, identification and in some instances administration of needed procedures, formulation of diagnoses and companion management plans using clinical reasoning and problem-solving skills and provision of patient education.
They learn how to care for the full range of patient problems — acute, chronic, emergent, preventative, rehabilitative — in inpatient, outpatient and continuing care settings. Three distinct curriculum plans have been devised, which allow M. Two tracks provide the M. The first track allows M. The third track allows M.
Students may take six to seven electives in Year 4. Students must complete at least three clinical electives from nine designated categories. One of these electives must also be a critical care elective.
