Courses in the School of Medicine

Curriculum for the School of Medicine

The curriculum for the M.D. degree at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine is a four-year program to provide comprehensive training for the practice of medicine. It offers a blend of basic science training and clinical experience with opportunities for research. While the first two years emphasize the basic science basis of medicine, the student is exposed even from the onset to questions of patient management, thus providing a natural transition from the entry pregraduate training into the clinical training of the final two years.

The first-year program is for three quarters, beginning in the Fall. The basic sciences (anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology, endocrinology, neurosciences, immunology, general pathology) are blended with social sciences (the behavioral aspects of medicine), and students are introduced to the art of communicating with patients, and emergency medicine.

The second-year program is for four quarters, but with the Summer Quarter abbreviated to six weeks. The Summer Quarter provides a transition between basic and clinical sciences with the presentation of systematic pathology, and courses on the integumentary system and reproductive system. In the remaining three quarters, the students complete their training in basic sciences (pharmacology, microbiology) and are then, from an organ system approach, presented the pathophysiological basis of disease (endocrine, hematopoietic/lymphoreticular, gastrointestinal, nutrition, musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, respiratory, nephrology). During the second year, students continue training in physical diagnosis and are presented with issues in community health, occupational medicine, psychopathology, and human sexuality.

The third-year program is comprised of required clerkship rotations in the clinical specialties: eight weeks each of surgery, medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, primary care plus (four weeks family practice, one week each ophthalmology, otolaryngology, orthopaedics, and urology) and psychiatry. Either obstetrics/gynecology or psychiatry may be deferred until the fourth year.

The fourth year features built-in flexibility to allow students to begin to individualize their medical careers. All students are required to take two weeks of physical medicine and rehabilitation, two weeks of neurology, four weeks of emergency care and 22 weeks of clinical selectives. A two-week course on responsibilities of medical practice (medical ethics, jurisprudence and medical economics) is also required. The fourth-year curriculum also provides 12 weeks of undesignated time.

To satisfy the M.D. degree program, the student must successfully complete the required course work and clerkships. Students who enter the program with advanced training in one of the areas required for the program are permitted to substitute required courses with electives of equal credit. In addition to the fourth-year elective program available, there is some opportunity for selecting electives during the first two years, in particular during the interim period between the first and second years.

Coordination with other Advanced Degree Programs

The curriculum for the M.D. degree provides flexibility and encourages coordination with other advanced degree programs (Ph.D., M.S., M.A., and M.P.H.). These programs offer a wide breadth of study areas and draw upon the considerable expertise of the entire campus faculty. In addition, the UC Berkeley School of Public Health offers an M.P.H. program in conjunction with the M.D. program.

School of Medicine administrators enthusiastically support students interested in pursuing advanced degree programs. The dual-degree program for the M.D./Ph.D. is targeted to train physicians to meet, respond to and solve the broad diversity of problems and dilemmas facing current and future health care. Students are encouraged to seek degrees in any of the campuswide Ph.D. programs, including those in social sciences and humanities. The UC Davis School of Medicine awards two competitive fellowships each year to students enrolled in the M.D./Ph.D. program.
