Our 4-year program gathers four years of medical education into 42 months of training and board review time – complete with semester breaks that don’t cut into your required graduation hours. The 4-year program consists of 20 months of basic science courses and 18 months of clinical opportunities, and after you complete USMLE step 1, you are eligible for clinical rotations at an affiliated hospital in the United States. Our curriculum is flexible and can accommodate all types of professional growth, including research, advanced degrees, and special clinical rotation tracks.

Our 5-year program includes six traditional college semesters packed into four accelerated semesters of pre-medical studies. If you have the right scholastic achievements from high school, you can be accepted into this program and be on track to enter residency and graduate to practice medicine by the age of 26. This program saves time by allowing you to secure your position as a medical student without having to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree beforehand. After you complete and graduate from our 5-year program, you are qualified for medical licensure.
