A High-Quality Education

Take part in nine clinical rotations

Our program utilizes state-of-the-art technology blended with traditional hands-on experiences to provide you with the best possible experience to prepare you for clinical practice. Students complete nine clinical experiences: Orthopedics, Family Medicine, Pediatrics, Adult Medicine, Women's Health, Emergency Medicine, Mental Health, General Surgery, and an elective experience. Each rotation is four weeks long, except for the elective experience (which is 10 weeks long). The elective experience can be broken down into shorter periods of time for a student to have exposure to a variety of medical fields, based on their interest for post-graduation employment or further exposure to a core rotation.
