Contemporary Curriculum
Providing the resources for you to learn
in the manner that suits you best

Our faculty recognize that students have various learning styles. For that reason, our curriculum incorporates

• lectures and laboratory sessions,

• small-group interaction,

• self- directed learning, and – of course –

• broad clinical training at the bedside led by master clinicians.

This, combined with just-a-click-away, online syllabi, notes, recorded lectures and detailed images, results in an enriched environment that supports our students’ learning in the ways that work best for them as individuals.

Our core educational resource is people; students learn by working together and by trading insights with caring faculty who relish the challenge of teaching the best minds. Surrounded by colleagues who celebrate learning and discovery, classmates find support in one another, joining as colleagues, not clashing as competitors.

Working together in small groups, students and faculty continually refine the
curriculum to ensure that it remains modern and effective. Pass/fail grading in the first year levels the playing field for students from diverse backgrounds and encourages collaborative learning. Issues of medical humanities and ethics are integrated throughout the four years of study.
