School of Medicine Basic Sciences Curriculum

During semesters 1-4, you will live on the island of Dominica and complete the Basic Sciences curriculum at the Portsmouth campus.

Students will experience an integrated curriculum. During these semesters, course content is integrated so that multiple courses are addressing the micro-function and structure involved in the processes of health and disease. Coursework introduces the complexities of interaction between physicians, their patients, and society in the maintenance of health and development of illness. The inclusion of a case-based educational approach allows the student to become familiar with the clinical thinking involved in the practice of medicine.
