加速审查计划

医学院是紧张和苛刻的. The 加速审查计划(ARP) is designed for students who have the drive to become successful physicians, but who need additional academic and study skills support to ensure their success in medical school. ARP provides students with the sound academic foundation and tools necessary to excel. 

This one-semester program exposes students to virtually every Basic Science course and faculty member. Classes are small, and students receive a tremendous amount of personalized attention and support. Students who successfully complete the ARP tend to become some of the strongest medical students at CQ9电子游戏. 观看下面的视频，并直接听取前ARP学生的意见.

学生选择

All students who apply to CQ9电子游戏 and have met all minimum entrance requirements will be considered for the 加速审查程序. The 招生 Committee will determine which students to invite into the ARP based on each student’s prior academic performance and personal interview.

程序的结果

Students who successfully complete the ARP with a grade average of 70% or above will be granted admission to the CQ9电子游戏 MD program. Those who successfully complete the ARP typically perform exceedingly well in medical school.

位置

加速审查计划是在圣. 克里斯多福. Students have access to all of the same learning resources and facilities as students in the MD program.

教师

ARP students learn from the same highly credentialed and experienced faculty they’ll encounter in our 基础科学研究项目. 这些熟练的教育工作者致力于每个学生的成功.

程序组件

ARP有两个重点领域:技能发展和学术课程.

技能发展

基础科学和系统课程

The ARP encompasses material from virtually every class in the 基础科学研究项目, 包括解剖学, 医学伦理学, 及以后. 该项目还设有系统课程, 将多个学科整合到一个单一系统中. This approach permits students to demonstrate their ability to digest and retain the different types of information presented in medical school. 

Each of the academic courses includes a short examination at the end of the course to permit faculty to evaluate progress and development. In addition, a comprehensive final examination is given at the end of the program.

课程描述

学习技能(整个学期)

The study skills lecture series is designed to help students improve their learning effectiveness, 的态度, 和动力.  学习技能包括:时间管理, 浓度的技能, 做笔记的技巧, 教科书研究方法, 测试采取策略, 以及批判性思维能力.

医学术语(2)

This course will focus on the main components of a medical term and how to break down a medical term by knowing the meaning of the prefix or suffix.  通过学习一个医学单词的各个部分, 没有必要记住数百个复杂的术语及其定义.  

解剖(3)+实验室(3)

The anatomy course examines principles of anatomy with an overview of the human body; there is an emphasis on the head, 胸腔, 腹部 & 骨盆. 临床导向的解剖参考也提供. A one-week laboratory section gives students experience at identifying selected structures on anatomical models and cadavers.

神经解剖学(2)

神经解剖学 studies the structure of the central nervous system as it relates to physical, 反射性的, 感觉, 认知, 行为和情感.

组织学(3)

组织学涵盖了显微学的基本要素, 组织准备, 以及光镜和电子显微镜下的细胞和组织组织. The course also covers the histological principles for epithelia and human integument (skin, 头发, 和指甲). 介绍了与上述材料相关的临床相关性.

生理学(3)

The 生理学 section will consist of an introduction to cellular function and physiology, which will give the students the tools necessary to understand general and specific aspects of human physiology. 在介绍部分之后, 注意力将集中在三个或四个系统上, 而不是对所有主要系统的简要概述. Students will actively participate in choosing those systems (cardiac, lymphatic, endocrine, GI, etc.)，其中基本解剖学，功能，和临床相关将被提出.

分子与细胞生物学(3)

Molecular and Cell Biology is the foundation for understanding disease at the molecular level. This module is offered to help students acquire the knowledge of cell function by focusing on topics such as cellular structures and their function, 细胞信号传导, 转录, 翻译和DNA复制.

生物化学(4)

Biochemists strive to give a comprehensive descriptions and understanding of chemical structures and processes critical to cell function and viability. Emphasis will be placed on the major families of biomolecules and central metabolic pathways.

微生物学(3)

介绍微生物学的基本概念, 强调感染因子的作用机制, 包括细菌学入门, 病毒学和真菌学.

遗传学(1)

An introduction to the principles and mechanisms of inheritance and will be taught at both the molecular and phenotypic level.

免疫学(2)

介绍免疫系统, 包括先天免疫机制和适应性免疫反应.

神经行为科学(4)

同时强调医学的同情心和人文主义方面, neurobehavioral sciences provides the prospective physician with the basic understanding of human behavior in the context of health and sickness. The course also encompasses the study of brain function and common neurological diseases.

病理学(2)

病理 introduces the concept of injury from normal structure and function in the human body, 如疾病中所发生的.  The various pathological processes and their importance in the basis of human disease will be studied.  还将与临床表现进行相关性分析.

心血管系统(6)

心血管病, 比如动脉粥样硬化和充血性心力衰竭, 是否异常复杂并涉及多个因素. The key to understanding the cardiovascular system is the integration of all of its components and functions.  This course brings an innovative system-based approach to help students form a framework to understand how the cardiovascular system works.   它包括解剖学课程, 胚胎学, 组织学, 生物化学, 生理学, 微生物学, 病理, 药理学, 和物理诊断.
