The medical educational literature is replete with proposed curricular models designed to integrate critical foundational sciences like physiology and pharmacology with clinical sciences vertically and horizontally. Yet gaps exist on the best pedagogy and procedures to maximize conceptual integration and learner encapsulation at the instructor and sessional level. We now present a model for how to implement and effectively integrate pharmacology and physiology with other essential foundational and clinical sciences using preclinical high-fidelity medical simulations carefully scaffolded using a modified Bloom’s taxonomy framework to keep cognitive domain levels appropriate to the novice medical student’s abilities.
