Clinical Sciences
Clinical Skills. Rotations. Clerkships.
Clinical Sciences equips students with knowledge pertaining to training in clinical skills, patient contact, and medical practice. The curriculum includes Five (5) Semesters of Clinical Core and Electives Rotations. The Program involves a Fifth Semester at the Main Campus and Semesters of Core and Elective Rotations at QUCOM ACGME Accredited US-Based Affiliated Teaching Hospitals + Healthcare Systems. After completing Basic Sciences and passing USMLE Step 1 CK, and CS Exams, QUCOM students advance to the Clinical Phase of the Program. During Core Clerkship Year and Elective Rotations, students gain valuable training, develop clinical skills, learn to be a part of a medical team, and train alongside Residents and Attending Physicians in each Core Specialty.
