Medicine is an altruistic profession. Physicians must be committed to serving others and devoted to
the care of their patients. They must bring intention and action, as well as empathy and compassion, to
the doctor-patient relationship. They must demonstrate honesty and integrity in all of their
professional interactions. In medicine, physicians must listen openly to their patient’s story,
understanding their patient’s experience of illness in the context of the patient’s beliefs, values,
personal circumstances and unique human qualities and responding compassionately based on the
patient’s concerns. Physicians also have the responsibility to be aware of their own reactions and
emotions, with attention to how this influences their attitudes toward and behavior with their
patients. Thus, Atlantic University School of Medicine seeks to admit students who demonstrate
humanitarian values, maturity and the capacity for self-reflection. Atlantic University School of

KNOWLEDGE
SKILLS
INTEGRATION
Knowledge must include the ability to augment itself through a lifetime of learning and scholarship.
Atlantic University School of Medicine medical students must couple this self-renewing capacity with
an ability to evaluate new information critically and contribute to the discovery of new medical
knowledge.
Atlantic University School of Medicine seeks to educate physicians who will demonstrate skill in the
core set of activities required for patient care. At the heart of these activities are history taking and
physical examination, complemented by facility with the appropriate use and interpretation of
procedures and tests. Atlantic University School of Medicine medical students must learn to
communicate effectively while carrying out all of these activities. Students must demonstrate the
ability to acquire, interpret, and apply information from a diverse array of sources to optimize
diagnosisandmanagement.
Atlantic University School of Medicine medical students must understand the context in which their
patients live and the complex interactions between the mind, the body, and the environment. Medical
students must realize that they will practice medicine within a context; they must understand the
needs and expectations of society at large and they must have the ability to work with colleagues and
healthcare teams. Further, they must realize that being a physician is a privilege - one that comes with
a responsibility to serve the community that has empowered them and given them access to training
andknowledge.
The quality of a medical school will ultimately be judged by the abilities of its graduates. The
knowledge, skills and attitudes at the heart of Atlantic University School of Medicine sustains the

5. 5
depth and breadth of a foundation that will provide the essential information that will enable each
student to learn the scientific basis of medicine and the application of that knowledge to the practice of
medicine. Our core curriculum integrates the clinical applications of basic science concepts
throughout the four year program and introduces students to the interviewing and physical
examination skills integral to the practice of medicine. The cultivation of a learning environment that
fosters a humanistic and compassionate, as well as an ethical, respectful, and culturally competent
approach to patient care and to working with other health care providers along with a teaching
approach that fosters student enthusiasm, critical thinking and commitment to lifelong learning will
prepare our graduates to be future leaders who will advance the practice of medicine in a global

The Pre-Medical Program is composed of courses which are specifically designed to prepare students
to enter the rigorous and challenging academic work of medical school. We welcome high school or
equivalent graduates to explore the study of medicine by enrolling in the pre-medical studies
programwith AUSOM.
The administration has also designed a comprehensive basic medical science and clinical medical
science program for students qualified to enter this level of study. The basic medical science program
covers all aspects of the medical sciences utilizing modern educational techniques, most recent text
books, audio and visual aids, anatomical specimens for real life comprehension of the human body, as
well as a comprehensive theoretical analysis of areas such as physiology, biochemistry,
pharmacology. The 5th term or semester is completed within a U.S. affiliate teaching hospital, where
SixYear MDProgram

students are instructed hospital physicians and staff. Physical Diagnosis is taught in real time with
patients in a diagnostic environment. Residents within the hospital provide opportunities for
AUSOM students to realize and understand the importance of the basic medical science study as a
stepping stone to clinical clerkship training. All of which comprise a comprehensive, thorough and
challenging educationalexperience.
The Department of Clinical Medicine provides all qualified students with Clinical Clerkship training
unsurpassed by any other school of medicine. Each student rotates within accredited teaching
hospitals within the U.S. or the U.K. Realizing that acceptance to some of these clinical programs
requires the successful completion of the USMLE Step 1, the administrative team works closely with
the basic science and clinical science teams to insure continuity, the comprehensive delivery of the
most up to date medical science information and subsequently offers each student every opportunity
to successfully pass the step 1 examination. Whether a clerkship is completed within the U.S or the
U.K. the administration and the Dean of Clinical Medicine, work to insure that each students
experience, education and training meet all requirements for entry into graduate training programs in
both countries.
The clinical terms include 48 weeks of clinical clerkships in the core rotations, 12 weeks of additional
required rotations and 12 weeks of electives. The core rotations consist of 12 weeks in Medicine and
Surgery, 6 weeks each in Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology and Psychiatry. Additional requirements
are 8 weeks of a sub-internship and 6 weeks in family medicine. Each student schedules the elective
program on an individual basis with the Director of Clinical Medicine under the direction of the Dean
ofClinicalMedicine.
All core rotations must be taken only in hospitals with which the college has an active, written
affiliation agreement and in which there are appropriate AUSOM Clinical faculty members. The
hospital must also have approved postgraduate programs in the areas of training offered and must be
designated as a facility approved for specified core or sub-internship rotations by the Dean of Clinical
Medicine. All core rotations should be completed before any sub-internship, primary care, or elective
rotation isbegun.
All affiliate teaching hospitals are contracted with Atlantic University, the School of Medicine does
notusethirdparty rotations.
At the request of our teaching hospital affiliates, no student is permitted to contact any coordinator
within any hospital at any time for any reason. All communication regarding any rotation must be
conductedthrough the Department ofClinicalMedicinewithin Atlantic University.
Electives assignments are made by the Director of Medical Education (DME) and approved by the
Dean of Clinical Medicine. A list of electives available to AUSOM students at each affiliated hospital
is prepared annually by the Dean of Clinical Medicine with additions or deletions made as necessary,
and may be reviewed by students at the office of the DME. The DME will certify to the Office of the
Registrar onceapprovedby the Deaneachassignmentforelective foreachstudent.
Elective rotations in certain specialty areas such as Dermatology, Radiology, and Pathology, among
others may be taken in hospitals where there exist approved postgraduate training programs in an
acceptable “umbrella” area for example, Dermatology where medicine is approved; Radiology where

Medicine will in these cases then submit the application together with all supporting information for
final approval by the Chancellor of the School of Medicine. Any student who schedules his or her own
electives without authorization will not be given credit and will be required to repeat the elective at an
assignedteaching affiliate hospital.
State licensure requirements vary with time and between states. At this time some state licensing
boards as well as registration entities outside the USA do not accept clinical training in unaffiliated or
non-teaching hospitals. For this reason, students who do not yet know where they will seek licensure
to practice medicine and who wish to be eligible in all states should avoid electives at unaffiliated
hospitals. The Department of Clinical Medicine advises all students to complete 72 weeks of clinical
training within affiliate teaching hospitals.
Atlantic University believes that the training and education provided at all affiliated hospitals is
substantially equivalent. From a purely educational point of view, placement of all students is
determined by position openings. However, the college feels that both students and hospitals would
benefit ifstudentscantrain near their homewhen possible.
EvaluationandGrading
All students enrolled within the clinical science department are required to submit weekly log books
provided by the University. At the conclusion of their 72 weeks of clinical study, all students will have
72approvedlogbooksonfilewith the Department ofClinicalMedicine.
Clinical students are required to complete a comprehensive examination for each core rotation. This
examination will test the students understanding of the basic competencies taught during the core
experience.
All students receive a comprehensive evaluation by their preceptor which is signed and certified by

The University maintains affiliations with teaching hospitals in the United Kingdom, Sweden and
SouthAfricaaswell.
The core clerkship in medicine teaches the students a logical approach to patients and their problems,
leading from a presenting or chief complaint, through a comprehensive history and physical
examination, to the formulation of a problem list, assessment of the problems, including a differential
diagnosis, diagnostic therapeutic work-up and an assessment of the educational needs of the patient.
While this outline is applicable to all specialties in the clinical years of medical school, Internal
Medicine carries the major responsibilities in developing this clinical approach. As such, Internal
Medicine forms the cornerstone of study in the clinical terms, regardless of the students’ future
interests.
The twelve weeks of the internal medicine rotation are designed to expose the student to a wide
variety of medical problems. The student is expected to elicit and assess information obtained from
the patient; to perform a competent physical examination; to draw up a problem; to construct a
differential diagnosis list and discuss the order of probability; and to select the appropriate plan of
action in terms of diagnostic therapies and patient education. The student will learn how to
communicate in an ethical and professional manner with patients, nurses, and other ancillary staff.
Skills of presenting and presenting and processing data before preceptors and peers will be assessed
and refined during this rotation. Skills needed to teach patients will be introduced. Students whose
core medicine rotation is predominately based on in-hospital experiences should increase their
outpatient exposureduringtheir senioryear.
Education in Internal Medicine continues in the senior year with an eight-week sub-internship in
medicine. The educational goals and objectives of the sub-internship are similar to those in the core
rotationsbut at a moreadvancedlevel.
The goal of the rotation in surgery is to acquaint the student with those clinical problems requiring
surgical intervention as part of patient management. While observations in the operating room
should be an integral part of the rotation, the emphasis of this specialty is not on surgical technique.
Emphasis is placed on the understanding of the pathophysiology of surgical disease and the
management of pre- and post- operative problems. The students are exposed to the patients with
shock, bleeding, acute abdomens, fluid and electrolyte disorders, trauma, and other major syndromes
encountered in general surgery. In addition to time spent on the general surgical ward and in the
operating room, student’s experience includes the surgical intensive care unit, the emergency
department,outpatient clinics,anesthesiology,urologyandorthopedics.
The objectives of the rotation in pediatrics is to teach students to; a) elicit a thorough history from

patient and/or parent as appropriate; b) conduct a thorough age-appropriate psycho-social
examination, including a development assessment; c) formulate a problem list, including psycho-
social, behavioral and medical aspects; and d) communicate effectively with patients, parents and
members of the health care team; e) demonstrate an understanding of common pediatric problems
andimportant, yet lesscommonones.
These goals and objectives are in addition to those generally established for the other clinical rotations.
Pediatrics emphasizes acquiring skills in history taking and physical examination of new-borns‘,
infants, children, and adolescents. Normal and abnormal growth and development are stressed.
Students are involved in the care of inpatients from admission to discharge and, if possible, in the
follow-up clinics. Emergency department, well-baby clinic, out-patient departments, and intensive
care units provide additional experience. Students present their patients at preceptor rounds and
report on topics assigned for reading. Numerous clinical sub-specialty conferences are held on a
regular schedule.
The goals of the clerkship in obstetrics and Gynecology are to provide the student with Clinical
experience in: a) the management of normal and pathological changes that occur during pregnancy,
labor, delivery, and the puerperium; b) the diagnosis and management of Gynecology diseases; c) the
principles and practice of family planning; d) the team concept of health care; and e) public health
aspects related to maternal and Perinatal morbidity and mortality, sexually transmitted disease,
cancer detection, and education in human sexuality. Outpatient experiences are particularly
emphasizedinthisrotation.
The rotation is psychiatry teaches the student biological, psycho-social, and social-cultural
underpinnings of psychiatric disorders and how to complete a psychiatric diagnostic work-up. The
student will also learn the psychiatric concepts, attitudes and skills that will be useful to all physician -
patient relationships regardless of the students’ future career plans. Experiencing direct and indirect
patient contact, the student will be able to elicit, organize, and perform a full diagnostic psychiatric
evaluation inclusive of a comprehensive History and Physical examination. The student will acquire
knowledge of common Psychiatric disorders and their treatments to able to formulate a differential
diagnoses, a diagnostic work-up with a plan of management, and be familiar with the biologic,
genetic, psycho-social, social-cultural factors in physical illnesses and learn the Psychiatric
manifestationsofsystemicdisease.
After students finish their core rotations, they are welcome to request assignment at one of our affiliate
hospitals which may offer them a sub-internship. The educational goals and objectives of the sub-
internship requirements are similar to those of the core clerkships but at a more advanced level with
greater responsibility.
