CHICAGO – The University of Health Sciences Antigua is thrilled to announce a new partnership with Jackson Park Hospital in Chicago, Illinois, which will allow students to spend their fifth semester (16-weeks) dedicated to USMLE Step 1 preparation and completing an Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine course.
Beginning in the fall 2012 term, students will spend the first eight weeks of their fifth semester preparing for the USMLE Step 1, which includes live lectures provided by highly experienced faculty. The second half of the course is known as Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine. During the final eight weeks, students interact with patients and develop the skills required to complete diagnostic oriented physical examinations, History & Physical and SOAP notes.
