Doctor of Medicine

Designed for students who have obtained, or will soon earn a bachelor’s degree, our M.D. program prepares you for practice as a professional physician. Once accepted, you will join a group of 10 to 12 medical students in a docent team comprised of clinical physicians, a clinical pharmacologist, a clinical medical librarian, an education team coordinator and other health care professionals. Over the course of the program, you will regularly assist with outpatient care in care clinics, practice using your skills in our state-of-the-art simulators and participate in daily ward rounds with your docent team. Communication and interpersonal skills, interprofessional collaboration, professionalism, medical knowledge, personal and professional development and practice-based learning are all emphasized.Our docent-based approach to medical training is unique, allowing you to gain clinical experience and interact with real patients early on in your studies. Our students often comment on the effectiveness of this practical, hands-on team-based approach to education. To help you start on the right foot as a new student, you will also be paired with a senior partnermentor allowing you to take on additional responsibility.
