ECR 2 is a required course for all second year Chicago Medical School and Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine students. ECR 2 builds upon ECR 1, a required course in the curriculum, where students learn history-taking, physical examination, and other clinical skills. In ECR 2, students build on their clinical reasoning skills, including connecting clinical assessment to the pathophysiology of common disease, the general approach to patients with common symptoms, and interpretation of basic diagnostic studies. Students also participate in a series of hands-on clinical experiences with real patients and in simulated environments. The course covers fall, winter and spring terms. The primary methods of teaching are lecture, small group discussion, skills building workshops, and preceptorship experiences in real clinical settings. This position is a hybrid. The Essentials of Clinical Reasoning 2 (ECR 2) Course Director is responsible for coordinating all facets of the course, including, but not limited to, oversight of lectures and hands-on labs; the clinical preceptorship experiences, learning management site content; exam preparation; student remediation as needed; and communication and collaboration with other course faculty, other course directors, simulation center, and appropriate curriculum committees.
