Drexel University College of Medicine
Introduction
Drexel University’s approach to medical education is
consistentwiththeschool’s2centuriesofhealthcarehistory. In 1848 the founders of Hahnemann University
(then named the Homeopathic Medical College of
Pennsylvania) thought that there were better ways to
treatpatientsthantheharshmedicalpracticesofthetime.
In 1850 the founders of the Medical College of
Pennsylvania established the nation’s first medical
school for women. In 1993 the Medical College of
Pennsylvania and Hahnemann University consolidated
into 1 institution – MCP Hahnemann University. The
school offers undergraduate and graduate programs in
health professions, nursing, public health, medicine, and
biomedical graduate studies.

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.
