Medical Education

Implementation of the Competency Based Curriculum

Medical Sciences is located on the main campus of Indiana University in the city of Bloomington.  The curriculum  is designed to provide medical students with an excellent foundation in the basic sciences and involves extensive clinical integration at Bloomington Hospital.  The curricular strengths and unique opportunities provided to Medical Sciences students are highlighted below

Curricular Strengths

  • Year-long courses in most subjects
  • Small class size (28/class)
  • Close personal contact between students and faculty
  • Extensive clinical integration at Bloomington Hospital
  • M.D./Ph.D. program

The  curricular strength of our medical education consists of courses being taught over the entire academic year.  This curriculum allows our students to have a longer exposure to the content of major courses and thereby provides a greater opportunity for them to master these subjects.  The first year curriculum is shown below
