The OMS residents are enrolled in the Introduction to Clinical Medicine Course, a formal second year course in the Medical School. This is a 180+ hour course which involves classroom lecture as well as clinical exposure to patients with closely supervised preceptor observation. Each resident is required to complete all of the course work and pass all examinations for this course in order to continue in the OMS program. The course is prerequisite to taking Part I of the National Medical Boards. Dr. Pazoki teaches a history and physical diagnosis course to the first year residents in their first four months of residency to facilitate their entry to hospital protocols and patient care.
