New courses
Withdrawn
MED 110.2 Nutrition
Rationale: Nutrition used to be part of Med 107.5 (Biochemistry and Nutrition). We
deleted this course two years ago and consequently any formal recognition of nutrition in
the medical program was cancelled with that. We are still teaching nutrition and feel it
should have its own course number etc. The first year it was taught individually (200910) it was only 12 hours so we rolled it into an existing course, but we have now
increased the hours to 25 (2 hours/week/Term 1) and as students are assessed separately,
we feel it should have its own course number.
MED 207.3 Community Health & Epidemiology I and MED 301.2 Community
Health & Epidemiology II
Rationale: A course in CH&E was taught in our Phase C (first term of 3rd year) – MED
301.3. We have reduced the number of hours being taught in 3rd to 1.5 hours/week (for
15 weeks) and have rescheduled the remaining hours into Phase B (2nd year) for 1.5
hours/week for both terms. Again, as in Nutrition, this is not new content, just a
reconfiguration of the existing course.
