The program provides students with modern concepts of medical care and health via high-quality education and research, and prepares and trains students to identify and answer fundamental questions in the mechanisms of disease prevention and treatment, medical sciences, and health care delivery. Medical doctors graduating from this study program will possess a blend of professional knowledge, skills, values, and behaviors that enable them to provide holistic patient-centered care.
WBU is creating an innovative modern medical program, the first of its kind in the area, in consultation with the Cambridge University Medical Education Group (CUMEG), UK.
