4-YEAR PROGRAM:
The 4-Year Medical School Program in English is designed for college
graduates, or college students with 90+ credits, who have completed the
following Pre-Med Requirements, allowing them to commence their studies
in the Basic Sciences Medical Curriculum:
- 2 Semesters (8 Credits) Biology (with Labs)
- 2 Semesters (8 Credits) General Chemistry (with Labs)
- 2 Semesters (8 Credits) Organic Chemistry (with Labs)
- 2 Semesters (8 Credits) Physics (with Labs)
- 2 Semesters (6 Credits) English Courses
During Semesters 1 to 4, students dedicate themselves to studying the Basic
Sciences. Through the use of both subject as well as comprehensive review
exams, The Medical University of Lodz provides students with the opportunity
to familiarize themselves with the medical board examinations. Upon completion of the Basic Sciences, students are then required to take and pass
Step 1 of the USMLE, after which they proceed to Clinical Rotations in the US,
UK, and Poland. At the completion of Core Rotations, students take
Part 2 of the USMLE, as well as the CSA Exam, which then allows them
to apply to US Residency Programs through the NRMP Match Program.
Students may complete Clinical Rotations at AIM/MUL-affiliated hospitals, or
seek their own Cores/Electives at sites convenient to their needs. However,
these Rotations must be approved by MUL. Tuition payments will remain the
same, whether a rotation is arranged by AIM/MUL, or by the students
themselves. |
