Medical Education
We launched our Curricular Refresh in the Fall of 2023! This integrated systems-based
curriculum allows students to learn the basics in foundational sciences, followed
by immersion in all the systems of the human body. Of course, we maintained our first-year
EMT training and service and four-year integrated lifestyle medicine curriculum. Students
have the opportunity to enter clerkships as early as March of the second year.
