ACADEMIC OVERVIEW

Pre-clinical training is completed in 20 months, consisting of 5 terms of 15 weeks in length. The full time on-campus students and the MPMD students do the same coursework at the same time. The on-campus time for MPMD students is scheduled to take advantage of integration of coursework, and clinical correlations.

Clinical experience during pre-clinical studies: -- Clinical medicine is continuously woven into the curriculum. From the first week of the first term, the students will be expected to take advantage of clinical contact for up to 4 hours each week. Full time on-campus students will use clinical facilities in St. Lucia. Distance students will be required to arrange for such experiences during their off-campus studies, and will use the St. Lucia facilities when on-campus.
