International Medical Doctor Program Vita-Salute San Raffaele University

Overview

The International Medical Doctor Program from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University students acquire a solid and resilient foundation of fundamental knowledge and skills in the field of medical education. This "backbone" represents the central core of information and abilities that form the supporting structure of the education, providing a stable foundation upon which to build further levels of knowledge and specialization.

Curriculum:

The curriculum envisages a highly integrated educational approach allowing for continuous long-term professional growth of the student's medical expertise. Contents are organized to ensure a progressive specialization with an increasing complexity corresponding to the skills and competencies gradually acquired. 

While studying, students strengthen practical skills through placements at our San Raffaele reference hospital and active participation in IRCCS scientific research centres, becoming a part of today's research. 

Students can tailor their medical education by selecting courses that align with their interests and passions, and broaden their perspective by having a dedicated stretch for interaction with foreign institutions.

Our students have the opportunity to receive an education with a novel study plan inspired by acclaimed international models. Our curriculum integrates innovative and educational approaches that cultivate progressive specialization with the increasing complexity of skills and competencies as students progress through their Medical School curriculum. It promotes a critical mindset in translational research, understanding behavioral sciences and managing health-related processes.

Accreditation

The program is recognized by the Italian Ministry of University, the EU Commission, the World Health Organization, the British General Medical Council (UK) and the US Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG®).
