This
is a unique early admissions dual track premedical/pre-dental
eight-year academic program sponsored by the University of Delaware in
consort with the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson
University and the Kornberg School of Dentistry at Temple University.
It is designed for those unique students who are certain that they want
to become physicians or dentists and who desire a program of academic
study blending the scientific and cultural aspects of the various
medical professions.
This program in medicine or dentistry is accomplished by providing
highly qualified students with a balanced education in liberal arts,
sciences, and professional studies. The commonly shared curriculum in
preparation for these two professions not only includes the traditional
courses in the life/physical sciences but also the opportunity to
specialize in one of three areas related to medicine or dentistry
dealing with bioethics, administration and public policy, or
translational research. Small group discussions, problem-based
instruction, and discipline specific practicum experiences in
clinical/institutional settings all experienced with strong mentoring
are special aspects of the program.
