Academic and professional growth is monitored closely throughout the program by the program director, the medical director, directors of Didactic and Clinical Education, and the academic, clinical, and course coordinators. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor for assistance and counseling regarding academic progress. If a student is having academic difficulty, he/she is counseled and offered opportunities to make improvements.

Program Overview & Locations

The didactic year curriculum builds a foundation for clinical practice and focuses on biomedical, clinical, and behavioral sciences as well as courses in physical diagnosis and critical thinking. During the first half of the didactic year, students will take on coursework in the basic sciences as well as gross anatomy, while beginning to make applications of this material to physical exam and clinical medicine. As the classroom year progresses, students will begin thinking more critically and clinically, correlating classroom knowledge to clinical application through both problem-based and case-based learning, along with Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs).
