Organ based system is divided into five semesters, each of 16 weeks duration.

During the first five semesters, students learn about various organ systems in the body in an integrated manner and also incorporating early clinical exposure from first semester.

We believe that the CUCOM’s basic science design will prepare its students to enter the clinical with a firm grounding in basic sciences, self- directed learning and life-long learning skills that will not only enhance their clinical learning but also be of added value to your clinical services.

There is a strong emphasis on the social and behavioral sciences, learning to deal with ethnically and culturally diverse populations, early clinical exposure and learning about evidence-based practice.
