The pre-medical program is designed to assist students in pre-professional preparation for a career in medicine while at the same time allowing them to accelerate their career plans by offering all medical pre-requisite courses in a span of 16 months.
Consisting of under-graduate (college level) science and humanities studies with emphasis on pre-medical courses, our pre-medical program provides sound preparation in developing critical thinking, good communication skills as well as a foundation for advanced health science courses.
The program comprises two (02) academic years of concentrated studies in foundation-building courses covering a total of 90 credit hours within 04 semesters, completed in 16 calendar months.
The Pre-Medical curriculum is designed with a focus on attaining standardized and internationally acceptable pre-requisites for graduate-level medical studies.
