Doctor of Medicine Program- (MD)
The Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program is a professional degree program that trains students to become medical doctors. It is a six-and-a-half-year competency-based program designed to prepare students with the knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes required for medical practice. The program is organized into three interrelated phases and each phase has specific Phase Learning Outcomes, which serve as milestones toward achieving the overall Program Learning Outcomes.
Phase I (Year 1): Common Courses
This phase provides foundational courses that prepare students for medical education. Students study basic subjects that support later medical training.
Phase II (Years 2–3): Preclinical I and Preclinical II
In this phase, students learn the fundamental biomedical sciences and develop a strong understanding of the human body, diseases, and basic clinical concepts.
Phase III (Years 4–5): Clinical I and Clinical II
During this phase, students receive clinical training in hospitals and healthcare settings. They gain practical experience by interacting with patients and learning from healthcare professionals in different medical specialties.
After the successful completion of Phase III, students fulfill the Transition to Practice requirements, which prepare them for professional medical practice. Upon completion of all program requirements, students graduate with a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.
