(1st and 2nd Years)
Curriculum Requirements - First Two Years
Each of the first two years of the four year
curriculum consists of two semesters of 20 calendar weeks (18 weeks of class).
The first semester consists of Gross Anatomy (including Embryology), Histology
and Biochemistry. The second semester includes Physiology, Neuroscience, and
short required courses in Behavioral Science, Medical Humanities and Emergency
Medicine. The third semester covers Microbiology and Immunology, Pathology and
Pharmacology. The fourth semester, which is considered a transitional one into
clinical training, includes Organ Systems, Physical Diagnosis and Preventive
Medicine. Additionally, during the second year students are expected to attend
at least two ethics grand rounds.
Students are required to take all courses offered
in the basic science curriculum at Stritch and record a grade according to the
regular schedule and school calendar.
A student may petition to complete
the honors level section of a required basic science course on the basis of
previous formal academic experiences in a comparable graduate or professional
level course. Petition forms may be obtained in the Office of Registration and
Records. No proficiency exams will be offered for the purpose of exempting a
student from any graduation requirements.
