Facilities

Our new state-of-the-art, four-story College of Medicine building located in the new medical city complex in Lake Nona. The heart of this complex currently holds the College of Medicine Medical Education building, the Burnett Biomedical Sciences Research Bldg., and the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute. It will also include other research buildings, clinical training hospitals, the College of Medicine medical school, and future health professions buildings, all surrounded by new commercial and housing areas, schools, and fitness trails. This is the only medical school in the nation that is the center piece of its own "medical city."

Curriculum

The core curriculum includes the integration of the basic sciences with clinical cases and problem solving. All aspects of the curriculum include the most up-to-date teaching and learning methods and technologies coupled with established techniques used for centuries that are proven and effective. The core curriculum can be described as integrated, case-based, organ system based, with modules that include interactive lectures, labs, small groups, online components, and simulations, with a multi- and interdisciplinary approach.
