The Duke University School of Medicine is part of the Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina.

Curriculum

The School of Medicine has a unique curriculum among American medical schools. All of the basic sciences are learned in one year instead of the customary two, and clinical rotations start in the second year rather than the third. This allows a year of research or other scholarship during the third year.

Collaboration with the National University of Singapore
