The Advanced Science Course (ASC) Assistant Director for the University of Colorado School of Medicine is responsible for working with the ASC Course Director, faculty, departments, curriculum deans and other SOM personnel to create, implement, evaluate, and continuously improve components of the ASC curriculum in which they have expertise.

The ASC portion of the Trek medical student curriculum consists of three Advanced Science Courses that are integrated together across a semester.

This required learning occurs for students between their core clerkship experience and their USMLE Step 1 preparation and examination period at the beginning of their third year of medical school from approximately late August till late November annually.

Each of the following three ASCs has a team of Course Directors at the main campus and at the Fort Collins Branch campus to facilitate learning.

During the ASCs, students learn advanced science concepts in the three pillars of the Trek curriculum: Basic Medical Science, Clinical Science, Health System Science (called Health & Society at CUSOM).

Students spend most of their ASC time in various advanced clinical settings and about one day per week in other learning formats, including online modules, flipped classroom sessions, experiential learning, and project work.

The ASC Assistant Director will report directly to the Assistant Dean for Medical Education- Post-clerkship Curriculum.
