Three-Year MD Program
Description: The Accelerated MD (aMD) program is specifically designed for a small number of learners who are committed to pursuing a career in one of the following generalist specialties: Family Medicine and Community Health, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics. Students will apply into one of these tracks in the late fall of their first year. Accepted students will begin in the second semester of their first year and will complete both the traditional curriculum and augmentation activities throughout the discovery phase of their enrollment. Augmentation activities will include approximately 30 half-day biomedical and clinical sessions to help them learn key concepts and gain skills in an accelerated fashion. They will complete a skills intensive and their Family Medicine and Community Health clerkship during the Discovery Phase summer (between 1st and 2nd years). Exploration and Horizons phases are under development, however these learners will complete clerkships in a specific order to allow them to take Step 2 in time to certify for the Match. Overall, their curriculum is comparable to that of 4-year colleagues though some experiences have different duration, all objectives and outcomes are consistent.
