Internal Medicine:Keys To Understanding 2012

Internal medicine is an incredibly diverse field and it is well beyond the bounds of possibility for a space and time-constrained distance education course to totally illuminate the whole field. However, studying this course can help you build a ‘framework of understanding’ (that is, the ‘big picture’) for particular topics or areas of study. This framework will provide you with:

• a short-term goal of immediate insight into a topic
• a long-term goal of providing a foundation for future study and experience

Tutors

The tutors for this program are Boyd Jones and Darren Merrett.
