In so doing, the student can experience the practice of medicine from the day they arrive on campus. This experience provides a rich opportunity for the student to integrate skills necessary for the practice of medicine as they are gained. The traditional focus of medical education has been arranging courses into sequenced blocks of learning with very little time dedicated to integrating material. Each of the longitudinal-experiential tracks is composed of integrated blocks of learning unified around a longitudinal theme. A significant portion of each track is composed of experiential training, which allows the student to combine traditional methods such as listening, reading and observing with firsthand immersion.\n\n<hr \/>\n\n<\/article><article class=\"_setcol2\">[raw]tracks-video[\/raw]\n<h2><strong>The Longitudinal Track Programs available:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<strong><a title=\"Longitudinal
