Drexel University College of Medicine Academics
4-year semimodern. Recognizing that different students havedifferentwaysoflearning,DrexelUniversityoffers a choice between 2 innovative academic curricula for their first years of study. Interdisciplinary Foundations of Medicine (IFM) integrates basic science courses and presentsthemthroughclinicalsymptom-basedmodules. IFM is faculty driven; students learn in lectures, labs, and small groups. The Program for Integrated Learning (PIL), a problem-based curriculum, is student driven, supervised and facilitated by faculty. Students learn in small groups, labs, and resource sessions by focusing on case studies. Both options focus on professional medical education, preparing students to pursue careers in either a generalist or a specialist discipline. Both stress problem solving, lifelong learning skills, and the coordinated teaching of basic science with clinical medicine. In the third year, students take clinical clerkships, covering 6 key medical and surgical subjects. Academic, clinical, and professional skills are emphasized and integrated in both inpatient and ambulatory clinical settings. In the fourth year, the “pathway” program lets students gain career experience in a general professional pathway or a discipline-specific pathway of their choice.
