的 curriculum elective is being moved from the foundation year into the clinical concentration year and the psychopathology course is being moved from the concentration year into the foundation year. 的 reason this change is being made is so the elective is used to support the clinical concentration content and thereby enrich the concentration curriculum. 的 psychopathology course is being moved into the foundation year so 那 students will have the course content from psychopathology before they take the clinical course content in the concentration year. 我们的认证机构 representative, Commissioner Shank, 推荐 this change in our curriculum in 那 electives taught in our curriculum should be used to support our concentration curriculum and psychopathology underpins or supports the concentration year clinical treatment courses.
