Clinical Sciences
AUSOMA’s clinical program prepares students for patient care through 72 weeks of clinical rotations over six 12-week semesters. The staff assists students in maximizing clinical rotation opportunities and preparing for residency placements. Students are guaranteed rotations at affiliated US hospitals upon passing USMLE Step 1. The flexible curriculum also allows for research, advanced degrees, special clinical tracks, and other professional growth opportunities. Check the website for current hospital affiliations.
Students are exposed to adult patients with a variety of disease processes. Objective components emphasized are medical history taking, physical examination skills, case presentation, differential diagnosis of disease processes, and development of a strong foundation of internal medicine knowledge. Student evaluation is based on the Clinical Component – 80% and the NBME Shelf Exam – 20%.
Overall goal is to give broad exposure to surgery and an understanding of the medicine of surgery. It will not serve as a comprehensive course in surgery, but rather a foundation for the role surgery plays in the care of the hospitalized patient. Students will develop an understanding of the common surgical diseases and develop a framework for self-study. In addition, basic manual skills such as suturing, and knot tying will be emphasized. Student evaluations are based on the Clinical Component – 80% and the NBME Shelf Exam – 20%.
Designed to introduce core principles and become familiar with common illnesses of pediatrics, common causes of death in childhood, normal growth and development, concepts of family-centered care, and variation in immunology, biochemistry, pathology, and the physiology that occurs as child ages. Student evaluations are based on the Clinical Component – 80% and the NBME Shelf Exam – 20%.
Provides a foundation of knowledge and skills through exposure to normal and pathological conditions associated with the female reproductive organs such as menstruation, conception, and pregnancy. Broader concepts of primary care for women with an emphasis on preventive care and periodic screening will also be covered. Student evaluations are based on the Clinical Component – 80% and the NBME Shelf Exam -20%.

Emphasis on major psychiatric syndromes. Students will work on a multidisciplinary team and are required to be able to employ a bio-psycho-socio-cultural model of assessments and treatments for patients with psychiatric illnesses. Student evaluations are based on the Clinical Component – 80% and the NBME Shelf Exam – 20%.
