Each module integrates core concepts when providing care to a particular patient. The on-line segments were created in an interactive software program that link to videos, websites and learning activities.

During the ICME session, teams of students from each of the four disciplines meet to consider a patient case, share information and develop a care plan based on simulated interactions between a patient, family members and treatment team members. The final step in the iCOPE course places students in clinical settings where they observe the care of a patient with a serious illness and write a paper evaluating the care and how it may have impacted them personally. Students from each discipline share and discuss their experiences in small groups.
