The first two years of your medical education will take place in the classroom where
you will learn about the basic sciences, gross anatomy and more to prepare you for
your clinical and clerkship education in your final two years with the SOMC.
MI & MII Curriculum
During years one and two, you'll study anatomy (gross anatomy and histology), behavioral
science, biochemistry, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology and physiology. As part
of our new integrated curriculum, histology, gross anatomy and neuro anatomy are combined
into one foundational course during the first year.
This integration continues into year two with microbiology, pathology and pharmacology
integrated into system blocks. Throughout all four semesters of the undergraduate
curriculum, students develop skills in history-taking and physical exams along with
analyzing research to determine best practice for patient care.
