TEC seeks to transform the way medical students learn the art and science of medicine by integrating basic sciences and clinical skills, providing longitudinal patient care experiences and offering earlier clinical opportunities in specialty fields to better inform students\u2019 career choices. This curriculum reflects the ever-changing practice of medicine, allows early career differentiation and exploration, and incorporates the learning preferences of today\u2019s medical students. The Class of 2018 is the first class to graduate from the new curriculum.<\/p>\n
