Three strands:
Clinical and professional skills - where you learn physical exam, patient interview, and evidence based stuff
Medicine and society - public health type courses, courses on health disparities etc
Foundations/Mechanisms of health and disease - this is where all of the science courses are. Foundations will have your basic sciences (biochem, cell bio, etc.). Mechanisms of health and disease is basically systems based physiology.
The helix is supposed to represent interconnectedness and tiebacks of the courses. For example G6PD deficiency may be mentioned during biochem, then again with more info during genetics, then again when you go through liver normal physio, then again when you do abnormal. Each time you get more information about a topic. Another example would be learning the neuro physical exam in CAPS the same time you are going through neuro in anatomy, and then how neuro comes up again when you do neuroscience.
Hopefully that clears things up.
