MD Program

Western University’s undergraduate Medical Education curriculum is a four-year program that is designed to provide each student with an opportunity to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to advance to graduate or post-graduate studies leading to clinical practice, research or other medical careers. The educational format is a blend of lectures, laboratory experiences, small group, case-based learning and supervised clinical experience in community and hospital settings.

The patient-centred curriculum reflects this noble tradition of commitment to individual patients, their families and community. The physician’s covenant is a promise to be fully present to patients in their time of need – to “be there,” even when the physician can offer no cure, to provide relief whenever possible, and always to offer comfort and compassion.
