My field covers everything. I must be a specialist in
every specialty; I must be able to talk with all physicians
on their own terms. I probably do more studying than
anyone else in the world. Frank H. Netter, MD

Frank H. NettersLife and WorkPerhaps no other physician has had a greater impact
on medical education than Dr. Frank H. Netter. His more
than 4,000 medical illustrations provide an unparalleled
visual chronicle o a revolutionary period in modern
medicine and continue to inspire and educate medicalstudents the world over.
As a medical student, Netter drew visual
representations o lecture notes that enabled
him to understand and recall material. Afer
graduation and a brie practice as a general
surgeon, he traded his scalpel or a paintbrush
and enjoyed a prolific career as a medical
illustrator or pharmaceutical companies.
With his exceedingly rare combination o artistictalent and perspective as a physician, Netter
brought his subject matter to lie with stunning
precision and clarity. He illustrated cutting-edge
medical advancements ranging rom organ
transplantation and joint replacement to the
first artificial heart.
The Ciba Collection o Medical Illustrations, a
13-volume set o Netters work, earned a place
in libraries and clinics across the country. In
1989, he published his eponymous Atlas o
Human Anatomy, which is widely used by
medical students.
Netters legacy transcends his lies work. A
major gif rom Barbara and the late EdwardNetter, Frank Netters first cousin, pays tribute
to Medicines Michelangelo in the naming o
the Frank H. Netter MD School o Medicine at
Quinnipiac University.

evidence-based patient care. Discussions o the social
and behavioral actors that influence patient care are an
integral part o the curriculum.During the first two years, the curriculum is
organized around integrated organ system
blocks, providing students with a 360-degree

time or clinical electives, completion o the
concentration capstone project and participation
in interviews or residency programs.
CurriculumOverview
CapstoneProjectStudents participate in a self-directed
curriculum, in a subject area of their
choosing, and perform independent
scientific inquiry guided by a mentor.
Students learn the techniques of scholarly
inquiry through formal course work and
gain expertise in a selected concentration
by taking three elective courses in other
schools, including the Schools of Business,
Communications and Law, starting in the
spring of Year 1. Students initiate the
capstone project in Year 2 and conclude
by presenting their work at a Student
Research Day in the spring of Year 4.
Students may select from the following
concentrations:

Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicin e
at Quinnipiac University
Interprofessional Educationand Team BuildingQuinnipiac is striving to become a national leader in team-based learning. The School o Medicine, the
School o Health Sciences and the School o Nursing are collaborating to provide new and engaging
interproessional opportunities or students. Through these collaborations, students will learn toidentiy effective and efficient health care delivery options, better understand the expertise o ellow
health care practitioners and enhance each others clinical skills.
Interproessional programs are incorporated throughout the School o Medicine curriculum. For
example, in interdisciplinary courses on special topics offered during the first year o study, medical
students learn the role o different health care proessionals as part o a patient-centered health care
team. In other interdisciplinary events, students examine some o the challenging legal, economic and
ethical issues associated with patient care in discussions with aculty and experts in those fields.
As a component o the capstone curriculum electives, medical students may enroll in interproessional
courses developed by the Schools o Business, Health Sciences, Law and Nursing, and the College
o Arts and Sciences. Working with aculty and students rom other fields, medical students gain anunderstanding and respect or the expertise these proessionals bring to health care.
The Center or Interproessional Healthcare Education at Quinnipiac provides guidance, resources
