MD – Class of 2017
Pre-Medical Sciences - 6 Month
The First six month of the MD program is called Pre- Medical program. The first year of study acts as a foundation course for the MD Program and is an important part of the complete course in order to understand the next level of Medical Sciences & Clinical Sciences.
Medical Science - 2 Years
Our basic sciences curriculum, called Medical Sciences, is an organ systems-based curriculum that organizes the teaching of medicine by systems within the body, like the digestive or respiratory systems. This approach, which mirrors how medicine is actually practiced, gives you a big picture look at the physiological, anatomical, and biochemical processes of an organ system all at once.
To ensure that our students receive personalized attention, we maintain small class sizes, and our enthusiastic faculty members offer individualized instruction. Additionally, we offer tutoring and mentoring services, and our student network provides several opportunities for peer-led learning initiatives.
Clinical Science - 2 Years
After successful completion of the Medical Sciences curriculum in two years, students finish the Clinical Sciences curriculum in next two years at the CUCOM affiliated hospitals.
The clinical training apart from various theoretical lectures on different disciplines involves rotations in clinical departments which enables the students to have hands-on real-life experiences of dealing with patients in emergency, critical care units, wards and operation theaters together with exposure on diagnostic services and interpretation of diagnostic results in correlation with clinical findings.
