Multiple studies have shown that the cardiovascular examination is a sensitive highly specific and cost-effective skill. At the same time, national studies of Internal Medicine and Family Practice trainees have clearly demonstrated that cardiovascular bedside skills are sorely lacking. The solution suggested in these studies is repetition and feedback through simulation technology and testing outcomes.
The use of "Harvey" provides a mechanism to remedy the problem. Multiple studies have demonstrated "Harvey's" effectiveness for teaching and testing. An NHLBI sponsored national multicenter study carried out at 5 medical schools clearly demonstrated that students trained with "Harvey" score significantly higher on examinations involving real patients. However, "Harvey" can only be effective if it is made part of the required curriculum and outcomes are tested. Add to this a faculty "champion" of "Harvey," and students will learn important bedside skills that will transfer to their live patients.

Students focus on normal cardiovascular physiology and bedside examination. This involves studying normal physiology and early clinical skills. The curriculum includes a large-group lecture setting and small-group or independent learning sessions, totaling 3 hours (1.5 hours each).
Building on the first year, students review normal cardiovascular physiology and are introduced to classic valve lesions, covering their pathophysiology and bedside examination. Key topics include mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, and mitral stenosis. This year combines large-group lectures and small-group or independent learning, totaling 7 hours (1 hour lecture, 6 hours small-group/independent learning).
The focus shifts to common cardiovascular diseases, encompassing bedside examination, laboratory evaluation, and treatment. Students study conditions such as angina pectoris, inferior infarction, anterior infarction, hypertension, and cardiomyopathy. This year involves small-group or independent learning sessions, totaling 7.5 hours.
Students engage in a comprehensive review of the cardiovascular curriculum through adult and/or pediatric electives, reviewing previous modules and adding congenital and acquired disease modules. This final year includes 15-20 hours of small-group or independent learning over a 4-week elective.
