Pre-clerkship curricula are being compressed, so students may feel like they are not getting adequate education in these areas. More integration of curriculum and students are not recognizing the integration. Students appear more worried that they are not getting the content they need to match. Tips: curriculum committee must be tracking this, and if feedback is that students are not getting it, then changes must be made. CQI should also track/monitor/feed to curriculum committee.
