Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Medicine is a four-year degree program designed and delivered as a collaboration between clinicians, basic scientists and humanists, with focus on clinical reasoning and case-based learning. The program juxtaposes applied topics such as what it is to be a health care provider, clinical case analysis, medical ethics, professionalism, health care delivery to improve quality care, and hands-on experience through simulation, with topics in the human medical sciences, including advanced anatomical, biochemical, neurological, and physiological science, pathology of disease, mechanisms of treatment, and integrative therapies. This degree does not allow licensure to practice medicine.
