Introduction
The curriculum at P&S is designed to train students to be the most knowledgeable, scientifically inquisitive, compassionate, and professional physician leaders of tomorrow. The intersection of biological, behavioral, and population sciences with clinical training serves as the foundation for the educational experience at P&S. Faculty and student review of the curriculum is an on going process and serves as an important impetus for curricular enhancements.

We help students gain a better grasp of the fundamental basic science concepts on which the practice of medicine is based through new efforts to integrate and coordinate the teaching of related disciplines. The basic biological sciences are taught in an integrated interdepartmental approach. They are presented in lecture, small group seminars and with independent learning assignments. In year two there is an organ systems approach synthesizing course material from Pathophysiology and Pharmacology. We hope to provide a climate for learning that reduces memorization, one that enhances and rewards problem-solving, thus developing skills for life-long learning.

The Clinical Practice Course I and II, which extends through the first two years, brings together the scientific principles of population and behavioral sciences. Emphasis is placed on the relationship of the physician and patient in the context of the family, the community and society. The faculty focuses on prevention and health maintenance. Students will understand the role of the physician in relation to other members of the health care team and the responsibility of being the patient’s advocate.

In year one clinical training begins with each student selecting a half day per week experience in a community based public health clinic or education program. These experiences are supervised by a variety of health professionals from the faculty.

The clinical years are devoted to clerkships in the clinical disciplines. Under close supervision the students are helped to develop the skills and knowledge required for the practice of clinical medicine. Students learn to elicit a comprehensive history and to carry out a complete physical examination. They learn to develop professional relationships with peers, faculty and other health professionals and they acquire an understanding of the mechanisms of disease and of the principles necessary for valid diagnostic appraisal and effective therapeutic plans.

Each fourth year student is required to select one month of a seminar course offered in one of the basic sciences. During this month, one day per week will be devoted to assessing health care policy issues and societal concerns relating to health care organization and cost. In addition, a course in Biomeical Informatics will help to prepare you for medicine in the 21st century.

In the fourth year, with the guidance of faculty advisors, students design individual elective curricula, drawn from a wide range of basi

刚进来的时候已经有三位大师翻译，我以为问题已经解决，但仔细看后觉得上有不妥，便亲自试了试。
本人头一次翻译，若有不妥，还请见谅。

序言
所谓P&S的课程是专门为了打造未来最富有知识，科学好奇心，同情心和高专业素养领袖内科医务人才而设计的。在P&S，生物科学，行为科学，人口科学的实践都已作为教学经验的重要组成部分。全体师生的对于课程的评论，已成为课后课程巩固的强大助力。
我们通过全新融会贯通的方法帮助学生更深入的了解建立在重要基础科学概念之上的医学实践成果。我们使用综合性跨学科的理念来教授基础生物科学，这些理念被应用于授课、分组讨论和独立作业中。在两年中，诞生了一种能将从病理学到药理学所有课程材料经行综合的"分析系统”（专业名词，不敢把握）。除此之外，我们正通过奖励地方法来引导学生提升解决问题的能力，而非死记硬背的学习，并由此建立良好的学习氛围，为学生终生学习习惯的养成殿下基础。
临床实践课程将安排在前两个学年，课程将综合教授人口科学和生物科学的科学原理。课程重点在于真确认识医生与家庭病人，社区病人，社会病人的关系。而这其中的诀窍集中在病症的防范与健康的维护上。学生还将形成关于医生在整个医护体系中作用的正确认识，习得为病人遮风挡雨的义务。
第一学年开始时，学生将在每周抽出半天时间来体验当任社区医师或社区医学普及者的实践活动。当然，所有实践都是在大量专家监督指导下进行。
在临床实践这段时间里，在严密的监督指导下，学生掌握了临床医学的技术与知识。此外，学生还学会了探求综合过程和实施完整的医学试验检测的方法。更甚的是，他们还学会了建立与同伴、导师和其他专业人员建立良好关系的方法。还有（学了真多啊！）疾病的机制，和对疾病作出正确诊断以及治疗计划的能力。
在第四年，学生在教师指导下开始了选修课程…………（没有了？？）
