-
The program has an onsite cadaver dissection lab and clinical skills/simulation center that students utilize throughout their training.
-
International students welcome to apply if they have 30 semester hours of coursework from a regionally accredited college or university in the United States, or from a recognized post secondary Canadian institution that uses English as its primary language of instruction and documentation. Of the 30 semester hours, 15 hours must be in the sciences, six hours in non-remedial English composition, and three hours in speech/public speaking.
