Curriculum
Our progressive, three-phase curriculum takes a holistic view of the human body and of medical knowledge. Clinical training begins early in the educational program, and basic science lessons continue during the clinical years. Elective courses give students new perspectives and experiences and let them reflect on what they have learned previously.
The MD curriculum is designed through educational principles that are distinctive to the program. This faculty adopt these principles to ensure medical students will be well prepared for advanced study in any clinical discipline.
