The Introduction to Medicine (ITM) block introduces matriculating students to the profession of medicine and the culture, values, and educational environment of the College of Medicine – Phoenix. A central objective is to foster an understanding of medicine as both a profession and a calling, emphasizing its profound impact on patients and their families. During the block, students begin their foundational instruction in basic science, coursework, and curricular themes while building relationships with their peers through collaborative and team-building activities. The block culminates in the White Coat Ceremony, marking students' entry into the medical profession and their commitment to the principles and responsibilities of patient care.
