The second year curriculum integrates the disciplines of pharmacology, pathology, microbiology, and clinical medicine into 12 instructional blocks. The first three blocks consist of fundamental principles in each discipline (pharmacokinetics, neoplasia, genetics, etc.), with the remainder of the blocks integrated by organ system (renal, cardiovascular, etc.). Examinations are administered at the end of each block, with a composite grade given quarterly (3 blocks/quarter).
