The core basic science courses are taught sequentially as integrated block courses on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from late August to early April; they are described below in the order in which they are offered. Medicine, Patients, and Society II is taught every Tuesday during the same period (see Class Schedules, page 39).
