    Overview

    Interdisciplinary Studies : This course includes integrated assessments that will occur longitudinally throughout the rotations in core clerkship and at the end of each of the 3 core clerkship blocks.

A progress test is a test that is representative of all the knowledge domain of a curriculum and is sat by classes at different stages of the curriculum. Each test will have the same blueprint which will represent a broad sample of the knowledge base of the curriculum as a whole. The tests will aim to assess knowledge application rather than solely recall.
