The objectives of our medical education program leading to the M.D. degree are achieved through a four-year program.
Years 1 and 2 are the pre-clinical years in which the material is presented in a series of system-based course blocks. Each block presents the material in a reasoned progression from basic information to clinical application. There are two separate, but coordinated courses, dealing with the social/sociological and public/health aspects of medicine, which are scheduled throughout this period.
Years 3 and 4 are the clinical years. Third year is 52 weeks duration and includes the Link Course followed by clinical rotations, electives and holidays (4 weeks). A new innovative 34 week Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship is an available option. Fourth year commences immediately after the end of third year and is composed of further clinical studies, rotations and electives plus holidays (3 weeks). It ends with a Review course and exams.
