Doctor of Medicine

Consistent with the vision and mission of the University and goals of the College of Medicine, the curriculum is competency-based, student-centered, and community-oriented. It is a four-year program and it follows a traditional building block structure, with basic sciences from Second Year to Clinical Clerkship. Although didactic sessions have lectures as the main method to introduce the different topics, small group discussions with the use of problem sets, or trigger cases will be used to emphasize the key points that need to be learned. To provide vertical and horizontal integration, special integration sessions will be incorporated to guide the students in the application of basic principles, and to enhance their skills of analysis, critical-thinking, problem-solving and decision-making. Teaching-learning activities will be conducted in classrooms, laboratories, discussion rooms, skills laboratories, different hospital areas, and in selected communities. The class size has been pegged at 25 per year.
