2001-02 Essential Core Year-One Curriculum Summary

*Prior to 2005-06, M&N was a 2nd year course, and Cancer was a 1st year course. Because of the M&N / Cancer block switch starting 2006-07, M&N is being taught both as a first- and second-year course in the 2005-06 academic year. Cancer is NOT being taught in the 2005-06 academic year. Starting 2006-07, Cancer will be a 2nd year block; the formal name of the block is Cancer: Bench to Bedside (CBB). M&N will be taught to first years.

**Starting in 2006-07, Integration & Consolidation is no longer a block course. Its content has been restructured into the Life Cycle block as an Epilogue component.
