MD Program
Curriculum: The curriculum is designed to provide the scientific
and clinical background to prepare graduates for the practice of medicine.
Most of the basic science courses are taught during the first two phases.
Students attend clerkships during the third and fourth phases. The third phase includes the core clerkships, which can be taken in any order, and the fourth phase consists
almost entirely of electives. As part of the School's commitment to produce
more generalists, a 3-year course is integrated into the required medical
school curriculum. The course, entitled Foundations of Doctoring, will
place students with practicing generalist physicians one-half day each
week to see patients over time, learn interviewing and diagnostic skills,
and experience primary care practice.
