Doctoral programs

The following key is intended to help visitors better understand the level of primary care experience provided by each program.

  • Major Area of Study: Highest level of education and training opportunity with respect to both the types of knowledge, skills and attitudes that would be developed and the intensity and amount of involvement in training to acquire those competencies (e.g., 2-3 years of didactics, supervised experience, and dissertation or research project in primary care)
  • Emphasis: The level below Major Area of Study, and permits a structured, in depth opportunity for knowledge acquisition and practical experience in a specialty area (e.g., 4 courses and 2 practica)
  • Experience: Falls between Emphasis and Exposure; the type and intensity of the training opportunity goes beyond simply acquainting a student with a specialty (e.g., 1-2 courses and a practicum)
  • Exposure: Represents an education and training opportunity that is limited in type and intensity, but is identified by the program as a structured activity and would be seen as an opportunity to acquaint an individual with that specialty area (e.g., 1-2 courses)
