Through individualized experiences in the third year — the hallmark of a curriculum created from scratch to turn future physicians into leaders — students make progress toward long-term goals and collaborate to improve health locally. A nine-month “Innovation, Leadership and Discovery” block affords the opportunity to complete a large, independent Distinction in Discovery and Inquiry project or dual degree. Students also continue clinical practice in primary care, family and community medicine with the option for other electives. Longitudinal courses in Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills, Interprofessional Education and Leadership continue.
The curriculum team continues to add distinction and dual degree offerings to the following opportunities, available now.
Distinction Options
Dual Degree Options
Students will be responsible for Dell Medical School tuition during their third year, plus any additional tuition and/or fees associated with their choice of distinction option or dual degree.
