University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry
Program Description
As the home of the biopsychosocial model, Rochester offers a student-centered program that prepares physicians for the 21st century. The curriculum fosters knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors of the physician/scientist/humanist by combining cutting-edge, evidence-based medical science with the relationship-centered art that is medicine's distinctive trademark.
Rochester's Double Helix Curriculum captures the integrated strands of basic science and clinical medicine as they are woven throughout the four-year curriculum. The focus of the educational program is not merely the transfer of information, but the transformation of the learner providing that ingenious combination of support and challenge, which leads to education. Courses are interdisciplinary and clinical exposure begins during the first week of school with an introduction to clinical medicine and the start of the ambulatory care clerkship during the first spring semester. Inpatient clerkships focus on acute care experiences in adult medicine, women's and children's health, mind/brain/behavior, and urgent/emergent care. A rich menu of opportunities is available to students, including a strong M.D./Ph.D. program (MSTP), a five-year Academic Research Track, and community and international medicine experiences.
