Term 5
Down arrow icon.

The focus of Term 5, known as the clinical transition term, is the integration of clinical sciences into the basic science program our students have already completed in Terms 1-4. Our Integrated Systems Review is a comprehensive 7-week program designed specifically to equip students for success in the USMLE Step 1 exam. This fully immersive study experience has been carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of students before they embark on clinical rotations.

Students are eligible to enter clinical clerkships after passing the required qualifying exams and USMLE exams.

  • Internal Medicine (12 weeks)
  • Surgery (12 weeks)
  • Pediatric (6 weeks)
  • Obstetrics & Gynecology (6 weeks)
  • Family Medicine (6 weeks)
  • Psychiatry (6 weeks)
