PROSPECTIVE STUDENT
Offering patient contact from the very first semester, the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara provides a unique bilingual medical curriculum that meets the needs of today’s population in the U.S.
Professors at the UAG are M.D.s that can better convey the importance of a course as it relates to medicine. Notwithstanding the excellent engaging faculty, lectures also involve “visiting professors” from U.S. medical schools and other countries.
Meeting the challenges of today’s healthcare needs, UAG students can take advantage of an innovative learning experience that encompasses not only medicine but also a new language and a diversified culture.
The UAG School of Medicine strives to produce physicians who are compassionate as well as capable of treating an illness. The faculty recognizes that performance as a physician requires not only intellectual skills but also certain personal characteristics and behavior that reflect sensitivity to human needs. The curriculum and instructional methods are designed to develop and enhance these qualities in each student. The curriculum is comprehensive, helping the student develop the skills of problem-solving and the discipline of self-education, both of which must continue throughout his or her career.
The curriculum is diversified enough for the student to make knowledgeable decisions on which specialty area or areas each wishes to pursue after graduation. It is sufficiently varied so that the student learns to adapt to the different environments in which each will have to practice medicine. Yet, it is structured in such a way that the student obtains sufficient depth in each basic science and clinical area of study.
In the block system of education, the student is taught one clinical subject intensively for a period of several weeks. This approach is extremely effective in the clinical years, where the students can bring all of their concentration to bear on one subject at a time. The typical class day of 5-6 hours consists of lectures with audio-visual presentations in one of the lecture halls.
These are followed by laboratory studies, discussions of specific clinical problems, highly personalized small-group seminars and question-and-answer sessions guided by supervising professors and teaching assistants.
Two additional carefully constructed programs have become of tremendous help to the student's progress within the curriculum of the School of Medicine. One is the Program of Medicine in the Community (Clinical Campus). The second program is the on-campus Review Course for students that will complete their preparation to take the USMLE step 1
