Clerkship Syllabi

To ensure consistency among clerkships, standardized course syllabi have been developed by KCU.  The KCU-COM standardized syllabi are designed for the purpose of ensuring that students understand expectations and work to achieve competency in the diagnosis and management of common illnesses. In so doing, students will gain an appreciation for appropriate utilization of a variety of treatment modalities.
