## Module Components

- `Book prose`: conceptual framing, domain scenario, methods, and failure modes
- `Assignment`: evidence-backed production of a specific artifact
- `Slides`: presentation sequence for seminar or lecture delivery
- `Narration`: spoken version of the slide flow
- `Instructor notes`: facilitation plan, discussion prompts, and grading cues
- `Rubric`: criteria for evaluating the module artifact
- `Notebook`: executable lab aligned with the module theme using synthetic patient-level risk factors including utilization, chronic-condition count, access burden, and prior intervention
