in our patients. The UCSF School of Medicine Bridges Curriculum educates MD graduates to excel in the competencies needed by physicians and leaders committed to advancing health for all. Our students work collaboratively with interprofessional teams to provide compassionate patient care while broadening their knowledge, advancing science, and seeking new ways to improve health care delivery in their communities and nationwide.</p> <p>The MD <a href="https://meded.ucsf.edu/md-program/current-students/curriculum/md-program-objectives" target="_self">program objectives</a> are defined by seven core <a href="https://meded.ucsf.edu/md-program/current-students/curriculum/md-competencies" target="_self">MD competencies</a>: patient care, medical knowledge, practice-based learning and improvement, interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, systems-based practice, and interprofessional collaboration. </p> <p>The Bridges Curriculum is a three-phase, fully integrated curriculum delivered over four years:</p> <p><a href="https://meded.ucsf.edu/foundations-1" target="_self"><strong>Foundations 1</strong>:</a> Students gain foundational knowledge in basic and clinical sciences while building the habits of mind of an inquiring physician, contributing to the health of patients and improving the delivery of health care.</p> <p><a href="https://meded.ucsf.edu/foundations-2" target="_self"><strong>Foundations 2</strong>:</a> During their immersion in team-based clinical settings, students advance your patient care and systems improvement skills, while revisiting core concepts in foundational science as they relate to patient care decisions.</p> <p><a href="https://meded.ucsf.edu/career-launch" target="_self"><strong>Career
