6-year Medicine Program overview
Year 1 outlays the basic science groundwork for medical studies. Laboratory practice and theoretical classes of anatomy, physiology, or genetics, will give you excellent understanding of structure and function of a healthy human body and a great insight into biochemical processes inside living organisms. It is a review and further exploration of secondary school coursework with focus on it's use in medicine.
Year 2 will be a deeper insight into physiology, biochemistry, microbiology, behavioral sciences, pathology, and pharmacology. You will also be trained in the emergency cases through CPR training and a course in rescue and disaster medicine.
During year 3 while finishing the basic science coursework, you will find out what can go wrong when healthy structures and processes are disturbed and how it translates to dynamics of a range of diseases and conditions. You will also explore the best available pharmacological and therapeutic options. You will understand mechanisms of disease and treatment interventions. At the end of the year, you will take part in the Comprehensive Basic Science Review course. This module is administered in cooperation with the Kaplan Inc. and concluded by comprehensive examination.
Year 4 is a start of the clinical part of the studies. You will begin rotations in internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, psychiatry, and radiology. You will spend your hospital shifts in groups of 5-6 students per one doctor-tutor, learning the ins and outs of the daily work on various wards, performing interviews, and taking patient history, practicing procedures, and assisting in surgeries. You will also review cases and discuss theoretical bases for each specialty.
Year 5 will be a continuation of clinical rotations with final exams in surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, pediatrics, and neurology. You will gain an experience as a hospitalist, learn how to conduct clinical procedures, and keep training your professional skill set.
Year 6 will be a completion of the rest of mandatory clinical rotations and subspecialties. During this time, you will become familiar with many interesting fields like forensic medicine, neurology, oncology, infectious and tropical diseases. If you are thinking of practicing medicine in the US or Canada, this is also when you will complete your elective clinical rotations.
Would you like to become a family doctor with your own medical practice? Or perhaps it is the surgery that you find fascinating? Are you wondering how you could become a good and valued doctor? Are you looking for a profession that will give you satisfaction and social recognition? Are stable career and financial success important to you?
