The MD Program focuses on life-long learning, problem-solving skills, teamwork and interprofessional education through experiential learning. Students at both MD Program sites develop a strong theoretical background in the foundational scientific and clinical principles of medicine.
The Program Level Objectives (PLOs) identify the key competencies of our graduating students and give backbone to our entire curriculum. PLOs are mapped to course and session-level objectives. You can access the Curriculum Map in Cally by logging in with your UofA CCID.
