FIRST YEAR
Starting in the fall, the first-year program is spread over three quarters. Classes include the basic sciences, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, endocrinology, neurosciences, immunology and general pathology and social sciences (the behavioral aspects of medicine). Students also enroll in a "Doctoring" practicum, where they learn to communicate with patients, perform physical exams, and practice components of emergency medicine, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
COURSES :
* Doctoring I
* Molecular and Cell Biology
* Cell & Tissue Biology
* Genetics
* Gross-Radiologic-Development Anatomy
* Human Physiology
* General Endocrine & Pathology
* Pharmacology
* Immunology
* Microbiology
* Metabolism-Endocrine-Reproduction-Nutrition
SECOND YEAR
The second year extends over four quarters and includes an abbreviated six-week summer quarter, which provides a transition between basic and clinical sciences. Students learn about systemic pathology, the integumentary system, the reproductive system and physical diagnosis. They continue their training in physical diagnosis throughout the second year in "Doctoring-2". In the summer and fall quarters, students complete their training in the basic sciences (pharmacology and microbiology). And, from an organ systems approach, they are presented the pathophysiological basis of disease (clinical endocrinology, hematopoietic-lymphoreticular, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, respiratory, musculoskeletal, nephrology and clinical neurosciences). Courses in psychopathology and nutrition, are offered in the winter and spring quarters respectively.
COURSES :
* Doctoring 2
* System Pathology
* Pharmacology
* Neurobiology
* Cardiology
* Hematology
* Oncology
* Neurology
* Pulmonary
* Muscoloskeletal
* Gastrointestinal
* Dermatology
* Nephrology
* Psychiatry
THIRD YEAR
The third year program consists entirely of required clerkship rotations in the clinical specialties of surgery (8 weeks), medicine (8 weeks), OB/Gyn (8 weeks), pediatrics (8 weeks), psychiatry (8 weeks) and primary care (8 weeks).
COURSES :
* Internal Medicine
* Surgery
* Pediatrics
* OB / GYN
* Psychiatry
* Primary care
* Doctoring 3
FOURTH YEAR
The fourth year of the M.D. program features built-in flexibility to allow students to individualize their medical careers. Each student, with his/her advisor, will submit his/her proposed fourth year schedule, a minimum of 36 weeks of learning activities, for approval by the Fourth Year Oversight Committee. These learning activites may be selected from electives and may include 4 weeks special study module.
COURSES :
* Doctoring 4
* Special Study Modules
* Electives
