The MS degree resident will take 2-3 courses most trimesters during the 3 years of the program. Most courses provide the residents a weekly streaming video lecture for viewing and a course manual. After each lecture the residents will log on and complete an associated quiz. The quizzes will be comprised of multiple choice, short answer or fill-in questions directly from the lecture and the course manual. There is a weekly video case conference which allows residents to present their assigned cases and discuss all the other cases presented by fellow residents.

All residents attend a summer session at the end of the year and this face-to-face program involves a comprehensive Knowledge Assessment process and practical training. At these summer sessions, the residents will be taking a set of Oral Exams, Essay Exams, MCQ tests and Practical Exams.

The residents prepare, present and defend a portfolio of their activities to document how they have satisfied the learning objectives of the program in person at the end of their program. Each resident’s portfolio must contain 18 cases which demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

The residents in the Master’s degree program create, present and defend their capstone research report in person at the end of their third year of training.
