The document outlines the Clinical and Applied Social Sciences Module (CASSM) for medical students. It discusses the goals of integrating basic, applied, social and behavioral sciences with clinical medicine. Students choose a clinical topic of interest, research it independently, and meet with three relevant patients. They write a 7,500 word dissertation and three 1,250 word case reports integrating what they've learned. The deadline is September 7th and students are assessed on their ability to meet the course objectives. Protected time is provided in March, May and June to work on the project.
