Academics
4-year semimodern. Years 1 and 2: The basic sciences
are presented as a basis for the practice of medicine.
Small-group, problem-based sessions with basic and
clinical scientists as facilitators are utilized. Students
receive introductory education in clinical and interpersonal skills and attend preceptorships with a physician
in private practice. Years 3 and 4: Students rotate
through clinical clerkships in family medicine, internal
medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, and through selectives designed to
meet special interests and career goals. A significant
portion of the clinical clerkships are devoted to ambulatory care, but as expected, the major portion is
associated with inpatient care. In addition to the standard required clerkships, there are rotations in surgical
subspecialties, geriatrics, and substance abuse. For students planning generalist careers, opportunities are
available for taking electives in rural health care and an
honors tract. Electives may occupy up to 6 months and
provide a significant opportunity for subspecialty
and/or research experience.
