MD
St. Louis Doctor of Medicine
An LCME-accredited 4-year program providing students with an ethnically-diverse, innovative and tech-driven education.
PHSU is excited to expand its Doctor of Medicine program to the St. Louis campus. PHSU’s MD program is an LCME accredited, culturally-focused 4-year program providing students with an ethnically-diverse, innovative and tech-driven education in a variety of medical practices. The first two academic years provide a pre-clinical foundation with core disciplines as well as an introduction to clinical skills, behavioral science, and medical ethics. Our interactive and innovative curriculum helps prepare students for clinicals in core specialties during their third and fourth year. With an additional five months of advanced specialty elective rotations, students graduate with a culturally competent and high-impact degree ready to serve communities in need.
