Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
Progress Notes: One Year in the Future of Medicine
Abraham M. Nussbaum, MD
Jul 1, 2024
Abraham M. Nussbaum, MD, professor of psychiatry and chief education officer at Denver Health, is author of Progress Notes: One Year in the Future of Medicine, a book that follows seven CU medical students through their training, particularly through the longitudinal integrated clerkship (LIC) structure that forms the basis for our new curriculum.
Abraham also offers a clear explanation of how we aim to teach our students to become better physicians: The new curriculum begins with a year of basic sciences but will be organized around clinical complaints. Hence, instead of learning the anatomy of the heart as its own topic, students will learn it in the context of a patient presenting with chest pain. They will learn about the anatomy of the heart in relationship to the physical examination, to available medications and procedures, and to social determinants of health. This book tells the compelling story of how to become a physician, serve our patients and our community, and pursue a fulfilling life. Published by Johns Hopkins University Press.
