FCP1

Foundations of Clinical Practice (FCP) is an 18-month progressive sequence of learning that introduces and refines critical skills and concepts necessary for the practice of medicine in contemporary science.
Foundations of Clinical Practice (FCP) Year One, taught during the first year of medical school, is an integrated series of lectures, small-group discussions, and simulated patient encounters along with a clinical component. The course provides instruction in fundamental clinical skills: taking a patient history, documenting a patient encounter, and performing a physical examination of a normal adult. Professionalism, communication, ethics, and the student’s emerging role as a healthcare provider are addressed throughout the course.

IPE

Interprofessional education is training for collaboration. Working with professions outside your area of study is an aspect of everyday life. For a nurse, interprofessional education could mean training to work with social workers and educators. For a doctor, it could mean training to work with a physician assistant and dentists.
