Entry requirements

Applicants must be graduates of an accredited medical school, U.S. citizens or permanent residents and licensed to practice in a primary care specialty. This program accepts rolling admissions, so you can apply at any time. We recommend you submit your application at least six weeks before the beginning of the term in which you wish to start your course work. Board-certified or board-eligible physicians who have already received MD, DO, MBBS or equivalent degrees may apply. Typically, physicians have completed residency training in their primary specialty prior to enrollment, but current residents may apply with the permission of their program director. Physicians in clinical or academic fellowship programs (or both) are also welcome to apply.

Tuition is charged per credit, so the total depends on the modules you register for each year. Current fees are listed in the official fee schedule.
