I'm not sure what you mean by "beyond primary literature".  Will students
be reading the primary literature and seeing how doctors might use it?
You might find these helpful:

How to Read a Medical Journal Article http://www.cmh.edu/stats/journal.asp
How to read a paper  http://bmj.com/collections/read.shtml

and the book, Interpreting the Medical Literature by Stephen Gehlbach

At least the first of these should be understandable by upper undergrads,
but the others would be useful for the instructor.


If you are looking to do something that emphasizes more of the arts than
the sciences, you may find some good leads on the Medical Humanities site
that NYU has, which gives links to syllabi in areas such as Aging, Health
Care Policy, Medicine and the Arts, Social Issues in Medicine, and more.
