About the Basic Science Program

The goal of the program is to provide strong foundational knowledge in the field of medicine so that the students can build on it during their clinical science program.

Integrative approach, clinical case study analysis, small-group discussions, research projects, individualized academic support with one-on-one tutoring, and exam performance analysis are hallmarks of the learning experience at Metropolitan University College of Medicine.

There are 30-34 contact hours of teaching per week in each of the first four semesters.

In order to successfully complete the basic sciences component of the degree, a student must have successfully passed all courses with a minimum GPA of 2.0. Students
