Clinical Medicine

Students that have successfully completed the Basic Science portion of the MD program are eligible to continue with the Clinical Sciences program once they have passed the USMLE step1 examination, or an equivalent exam that is acceptable to the South American International University.

USMLE Review course

Once a student has completed the Basic Sciences, it is highly recommended that the student take a USMLE Review course. This stand-alone 8 week program focused on one goal, passing the USMLE Step I. This is specifically tailored to meet the needs of students who need a refresher course prior to sitting the USMLE.

The USMLE review course covers three main blocks namely Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology, as well as Psychology and Pharmacology.

  • Block 1: Anatomy, covers Histology, Embryology and Neuro-anatomy.
  • Block 2: Physiology covers Biochemistry and Neurophysiology.
  • Block 3: Pathology covers Microbiology, Immunology, and Genetics.

These three primary areas cover the essentials of the basic sciences which one must master in order to obtain a good score in the USMLE Step I. Specific emphasis will be placed on the most important aspects of each course and it’s relevance to the USMLE examination.

In addition to lectures, students will sit two “mock” USMLE Step I Examinations. A full USMLE type Exam will be given at the beginning of the course and at the end of the course so that the student can accurately determine his/her progress.

These exams will be taken on the computer under conditions similar to those of the actual examination. Furthermore, students will have ample opportunity to review the vast database of USMLE Step I questions available at the University.

At the end of the six week review course, special time will be made available for individual discussion of each student’s area(s) of weakness. A self study program will be suggested to further strengthen the student’s preparation in these specific area
