BASIC PROJECT

BASIC aims to continue to answer important questions about stroke, including the differences in stroke risk and stroke outcomes between non-Hispanic whites and Mexican-Americans. It is the nation's only major study of stroke in Mexican-Americans... The late 1960s was an era of increased clinical training in the first two predominantly basic science years of medical school. The U-M, along with many medical schools across the country, adopted an interdepartmental Introduction to Clinical Medicine course that would remain a staple of the first two years. We also introduced senior year sub-internships, which are still part of the advanced clinical curriculum... Our community of faculty, staff and learners throughout 20 clinical and nine basic science departments, is committed to this single mission.
