This course provides students with the opportunity to build a solid core of clerkship experiences, self-assessment, and goal-setting for learning. Students complete their first set of elective experiences to explore areas of interest in greater depth. The course also includes participation in three clinical rotations, and a Wellness and Leadership program. Students develop strategies for self-care, resilience, and wellness throughout this course, and enhance their clinical, communication, and critical appraisal skills. Identification of patient safety opportunities, specifically handover, as well as practice in collaboration, patient advocacy, and application of ethical and legal concepts are all part of developing a professional identity in this course.
