For over 15 years, human genetics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Chicago (UICMC) was taught exclusively through lectures. In 1989-90 the authors revised this course for the graduating class of 1993 in order to incorporate many features found in a clerkship experience, such as oral presentations and the exploration of differential diagnoses through patient cases. In addition to lectures, the revised course consisted of small-group work in concentrated blocks of time, involving both a library research project and problem-based learning, each of which contributed to (1) significant gains in student achievement compared with data from the class of 1992 and (2) extremely favorable assessments from the students and faculty. The format of a basic science clerkship is being adopted by other departments at UICMC. The authors suggest that this format could be used by other medical schools to integrate the basic and clinical sciences.
