The Inquiry Curriculum teaches a “habit of mind,” and takes place across the four-year Bridges Curriculum, beginning on day one and culminating at the Inquiry Symposium. Each step of the four-year curriculum advances the learner, first to a sophisticated consumer of biomedical science, and then to a producer of new knowledge. The Inquiry Curriculum includes the following components: 1) Core Inquiry, which takes place weekly during years 1 and 2 of medical school; 2) Inquiry Immersion, which takes place in year 1 of medical school and 3) Deep Explore, which takes place in year 4 of medical school and provides a focused research project experience for students.
The Inquiry Curriculum Goals include:
- Extend student understanding of biomedical sciences to the edge of what is known and recognize the limits of current knowledge.
- Provide individualized, four-year project advising to every student, small group teaching in every course, and Designing and Conducting Research, a course in experimental design and proposal-writing, for all students.
- Offer the widest range of choice in the exploration of scientific and creative domains.
- Integrate learners from different UCSF schools and levels of training into the primary experience of all UCSF medical students.
- Enable 12-20 weeks of flexible, protected time to complete an independent mentored project.
- Simplify the grant-finding and funding process for all learners.
