Program Structure
The California Northstate University BS MD Program is designed to provide a seamless transition from undergraduate studies to medical school. The program is divided into three phases: the pre-medical phase, the medical phase, and the clinical phase.
1. Pre-Medical Phase: During the first three years, students complete their undergraduate coursework, focusing on foundational sciences, liberal arts, and humanities. This phase provides a solid academic foundation and prepares students for the rigorous medical curriculum ahead.
