Nobody said medical school would be easy. Make no mistake about it: National University is a demanding program. Our basic science courses and labs are as rigorous as those of allopathic medical schools, and lay the groundwork for training that provides clinical mastery and practical experience. It’s an innovative, evidence-based approach that empowers students to reach higher. National University provides students with a unique opportunity to expand their practice opportunities by earning a dual degree. Our continuing education programs, residencies, postprofessional programs and partnerships with other respected institutions broaden students’ knowledge base, allowing them to serve a more diverse population of patients. Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Our acupuncture and oriental medicine programs are one of the few to incorporate cadaver dissection into acupuncture point and meridian studies. This integration of eastern and western medical modalities creates new insight and opportunities for graduates. Chiropractic Medicine Our Evaluation and Management classes in the chiropractic program apply basic sciences to medical diagnosis and treatment. Students connect what’s happening in the exam room with what they’re learning in the classroom, and begin practicing adjusting techniques during their second trimester. Naturopathic Medicine In naturopathic medicine, knowledge of the basic sciences assists in diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Our Determinants of Health course teaches students how to apply science coursework to naturopathic principles, providing a solid foundation for clinical training and practice. the demands are great — the rewards are even greater .
