About Master of Medicine

Drexel University College of Medicine's MD program trains future physicians in the science and art of medicine. At Drexel, our medical students learn to combine cutting-edge technology with the highest level of compassion in the practice of medicine. Our supportive educational environment emphasizes collaboration and gives students a comfort level that lets them learn and thrive. Faculty members are concerned first and foremost with teaching and helping students.

Drexel's innovative MD curriculum, Foundations and Frontiers, is designed to create physicians for the 21st century. The curriculum instills all of the enduring qualities necessary for clinical excellence while also including essential competencies such as understanding of population health, health informatics, quality and patient safety, and health care systems and financing.

Foundations and Frontiers Highlights

Foundations and Frontiers was created with input from medical students, faculty, alumni and national medical education experts. The program builds on the College of Medicine's legacy in medical education and embraces Drexel University's reputation for innovation and collaboration.

Our curriculum is supported technologically by Drexel-developed iPad applications and state-of-the-art simulation and clinical education centers where medical students can apply what they have learned in the classroom with hands-on training.

Other hallmarks of the distinctive Frontiers and Foundations curriculum include:

Early and frequent clinical exposure
Integrated basic science and clinical education
Team learning
Technology-enhanced education
Cultural competence
Community and civic engagement
An award winning, nationally recognized Professional Formation program
Enhanced opportunities for research and scholarly projects in basic science as well as other areas such as Women's Health, Population Health, Healthcare Economics, and Humanities

Campuses

Incoming medical students are assigned to one of two campuses – Philadelphia and West Reading, PA. Our Philadelphia college of medicine campus will move to University City in summer 2023 and will be housed in the brand new Health Sciences Building along with the College of Nursing and Health Professions. Our state-of-the-art West Reading campus opened in July 2020 and is in close proximity to Tower Health's Reading Hospital. Both campuses offer vibrant student life with access to cultural, artistic and sporting activities as well as opportunities to become involved in community outreach.

The Societies

Incoming medical students are placed into one of seven learning communities, or "societies," each taking its name from a famous Philadelphia or Reading landmark: Athenaeum, Liberty Bell, Physick House, Rocky Statue, Reading Terminal, Eakins House, and Pagoda.

Each society has elected student representatives, who are responsible for coordinating and planning society activities.

The society provides a social structure for each student, giving a small-school feel while maintaining all of the advantages and amenities of a large institution.

The program helps promote a greater sense of community and connectedness among the medical students and faculty. The society serves as the core unit for a variety of valuable activities including:

Small group learning
Advising / peer mentoring program
Community service projects
Activities to promote student wellness
Social activities
Society-based competitions culminating in the coveted "Dean's Cup"

The Foundations and Frontiers curriculum information presented is subject to revision. Last updated July 1, 2022.
