Pre-Clerkship Curriculum

The first two years of your medical education will take place in the classroom where you will learn about the basic sciences, gross anatomy and more to prepare you for your clinical and clerkship education in your final two years with the SOMC.

MI & MII Curriculum

During years one and two, you'll study anatomy (gross anatomy and histology), behavioral science, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology and physiology. As part of our new integrated curriculum, histology, gross anatomy and neuro anatomy are combined into one foundational course during the first year.

This integration continues into year two with microbiology, pathology and pharmacology integrated into system blocks. Throughout all four semesters of the undergraduate curriculum, students develop skills in history-taking and physical exams along with analyzing research to determine best practice for patient care.
