We focus on clinical training that redefines medical education. The Apollo clinical experience is an innovative experience for medical students to participate in clinical encounters that inform their vision as future physicians. Course goals include integration into the clinical setting with preceptors, development of concrete skills, and introduction to different career paths. This encounter includes three components: (1) clinical experiences, (2) interactive large group seminars, and (3) small group sessions for reflection of clinical sessions.
