Areas of Expertise
Our curriculum underwent a major revision in 1992 and now is based on a tutorial system emphasizing group learning, contextual learning, the development of communication skills and the early introduction of clinical interaction with patients. The curriculum is aimed at providing you with an appropriate balance between the biomedical sciences, which are fundamental to modern medicine, and the development of personal skills which are of critical importance to your functioning as a physician. We take pride in being referred to as "the Humane Medical School." We emphasize the importance of instilling in our graduates respect, sympathy and understanding of others, particularly patients but, as well, co-workers.
