Curriculum Overview
Student doctor Mason Rosenbaum shares how SHSU-COM’s clinical medicine team and simulation hospital help students turn classroom knowledge into practical skills. Through hands-on training, realistic patient-care scenarios and guidance from experienced faculty, students can practice, learn from mistakes and build confidence before entering clinical rotations.
The DO program follows a vertically and horizontally integrated curriculum in biomedical sciences and clinical systems-based medicine. The program utilizes multiple teaching modalities like lecture, small group, case-based learning, clinical practice, simulation, and active learning to promote deep and complete mastery of the concepts.
Research, ethics, statistics, and osteopathic principles and practices are embedded within all realms of clinical and pre-clinical education. Students complete this program as lifelong learners, prepared with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in residency.
