The physician's coursework is very rigorous. In addition to four years in medical school, the student must have four years of pre-medical training before entering professional studies. Because medical schools limit the number of students they admit, students should have an alternative career plan.

The first two years of training are available at Clark College. In small classes, with personalized training, the student has the opportunity to gain a foundation in the basic sciences. A number of medical schools require a foreign language.

Students should choose electives with the aim of broadening their intellectual and social backgrounds.
