Admission to M.D. Program
The School of Medicine accepts 290 students for its entering class. The students are selected from a large number of applicants who apply through the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS).
Academic Requirements for Admission
Wayne State University School of Medicine requires applicants for admission to have earned a bachelor’s degree.
Required subjects for baccalaureate preparation are:
- general physics;
- inorganic and organic chemistry;
- general biology;
- college writing or composition
It is recommended that students complete lab work in the above science courses. and take a course in statistics, ethics, and biochemistry. The student is urged to select additional subjects which will contribute substantially to a broad cultural background.
It is to be noted that when students are accepted before completion of their premedical requirements, they must maintain a satisfactory scholastic average in their continued premedical work to warrant enrollment in the School of Medicine.
The Medical College Admission Test is required of all applicants for admission into the first year class. Students seeking admission should take this test no later than September of the year prior to matriculation. After a preliminary review of application credentials, interviews are held with those applicants who warrant further consideration.
Admission to the First-Year Class
The School of Medicine adheres to the acceptance procedures of the Association of American Medical Colleges, including the ‘Early Decision Plan.’ Admission procedures of the School are:
- No place in the first-year class shall be offered to an applicant more than one year before the actual start of instruction for that class.
- Following the receipt of an offer of a place in the first-year class, a student shall be allowed three weeks in which to make a decision.
- No student who has at any time been requested to withdraw for any reason from a medical school in which he/she has been registered will be accepted by the WSU School of Medicine. Students who have been dropped for poor scholarship by the School of Medicine should not expect favorable consideration for readmission.
- Any applicant accepted by the School of Medicine who does not complete enrollment must apply for readmission and meet all requirements in force at the time of the new application.
Selection Factors
The Committee on Admissions will select applicants who, in its judgment, will make the best students and physicians. Consideration is given to the entire record, including grade point average, Medical College Admission Test scores, recommendations and interview results (one-on-one interview and multiple mini-interviews), as these reflect an applicant's personality, maturity, character and suitability for medicine. Additionally, the committee regards as desirable certain health care experiences, such as volunteering or working in hospitals, hospices, nursing homes or doctor's offices. The committee also values experience in biomedical laboratory research. Following an initial screening process, students with competitive applications are selected to complete a secondary application. Special encouragement is given to candidates from medically underserved areas in Michigan.
As a state-supported school, the institution must give preference to Michigan residents; however, out-of-state applicants are encouraged to apply. An applicant's residency is determined by university regulations. Applicants must be a U.S. or Canadian citizen or U.S. permanent resident to be eligible for admission. Students whose educational backgrounds include work outside the United States must have completed two years of course work, including the prerequisite courses at a U.S. or Canadian college or university. Canadian citizens are considered non-resident for both admission and tuition purposes. Interviews are required but are scheduled only with those applicants who are given serious consideration. Students are urged to apply by November 1.
Application and Acceptance Policies
The School of Medicine adheres to the acceptance procedures of the Association of American Medical Colleges, including the ‘Early Decision Plan.’ Admission procedures of this School are:
- An American Medical College Application Services application must be filed between June 1 and December 31 of the year preceding anticipated matriculation.
- Applicants must respond to acceptance offer within three weeks of the offer.
Diversity and Integrated Student Services
This unit supports the medical school to maintain its representation of diversity across economic, personal and social dimensions. This is accomplished through pipeline outreach programs and special projects that present a combination of academic and extracurricular activities designed to inform high school, undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students about career opportunities in medicine and other health professions, and prepare them to gain admission.
A special program feature of the unit is the Post Baccalaureate Program. This medical school preparatory program offers an opportunity to a small number of applicants who are Michigan residents, and whose undergraduate academic achievement has been compromised by certain disadvantaging factors to gain admission into medical school. Successful completion of this special one year program facilitates entry into medical school for those selected applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Registration Requirements
Physical Examination
Each student must present proof of a physical examination at or before registration for the first year. Students are also required to be annually tested for TB (skin test or chest x-ray). Additional vaccines and titers may be required.
Health Insurance
Health insurance is mandatory and students must demonstrate proof of insurance at registration. Students have the option of purchasing the group plan offered by the Medical School, which can be purchased at registration.
Disability Insurance is mandatory and can be purchased at registration.
Criminal Background Check: All accepted applicants to the medical school will be required to complete a criminal background check through AMCAS and Certiphi, the selected vendor for criminal background checks.
Transcripts
Transcripts of all university-level work must be on file in the Registrar’s Office for each medical student, including the degree statement from the university from which the student obtained his/her degree.
Academic Program
The Office of Undergraduate Medical Education is responsible for the overall management, administration, and supervision of the undergraduate medical curriculum. The undergraduate program in medicine is structured in phases that divide the four years on a time, and more importantly, conceptual level.
- The initial segment (18 months) establishes a framework of skills, scientific, clinical and societal – a chassis on which to build the practice of medicine.
- The next segment (12 months) involves an intense clinical experience in all aspects of medicine.
- The final segment (14 months) sees students advance toward their career goals while being prepared for residency.
Phase 1 of the curriculum is aimed at "coaching up" our students, training them earlier, and providing context as to how/why to apply classroom learning within clinics and in the community. To give students an even greater start, we align the basic science curriculum to best take advantage of cadaver dissection opportunities for additional hands-on experience.
Phase 1, Segment 1
The Segment 1 curriculum will be eight months in length and taught on a systems-based model. Each system is taught via lecture; small-group problem-based and case-based learning; and laboratory experiences. Of particular note, this segment is centered upon anatomic cadaver dissection. This is unusual in medical schools in 2018, but we consider it to be essential.
Systems curriculum present the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, histology and genetics of each organ system, correlated with anatomic dissection.
Importantly, clinical education is also correlated with each system, as the physical exam and history exercised and instruction in the clinical skills course will mirror the system taught in the basic science portion.
Phase 1, Segment 2
The second segment is concentrated on the abnormal -- the diseased states of the human. This, again, is taught by organ system. Minor revisions are ongoing in this curriculum, which will build upon the existing systems approach.
Clinical instruction is centered upon the continuity clerkship in which each student is paired with a preceptor in community practice for a half day of clinic every other week. This real-patient experience is integrated with further instruction in clinical skills and regional/focused physical exam in the skills center.
Students must pass Step 1 of the USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examination) in order to be promoted from Year II to Year III. Students must also pass Step 2 (both clinical knowledge and clinical skills) examinations in order to graduate.
Phase 2, Segment 3
This phase is defined as the 12 months of core clerkship courses, including orientation weeks, helping with the transition to clerkships, and a longitudinal course called Clinical Reasoning, Integration and Skills for Practice (CRISP). Students are assigned to faculty coaches to aid and assist in the student's growth in clinical mastery.
Phase 3, Segment 4
This phase is 14 months in the expanded fourth year of medical school, which will start in April of the students' third year. Courses are one calendar month or, in some cases, two weeks. Rotations at other institutions (visiting or audition) and independent electives are supported and encouraged.
Matriculation and Promotion
Primary evaluation of students is the responsibility of the faculty of the appropriate departments or courses for Year I-III students, and the Elective Course Coordinators for Year IV students.
Students are evaluated promptly by the primary evaluators, who make recommendations to the Promotions Committee which may include: promotion, re-examination, repetition of all or part of the year, interruption or suspension or probation of a student’s program, or dismissal. Questions of suitability for the study and practice of medicine on other than academic grounds are handled according to the University’s ‘Guidelines for Assisting Persons with Behavioral Problems.’
The Promotions Committee is chaired by the Vice Dean for Medical Education or his/her designee and consists of twelve members: four nominated from the faculty by the President of the Faculty Senate, with the advice and consent of the Executive Committee; four nominated from the Council of Departmental Chairpersons; and four selected by and from the student body. Faculty members serve three-year terms. Student members serve for one year and have full discussion privileges. Their votes are advisory to the Committee.
At appropriate intervals, the Promotions Committee meets to make promotional decisions based upon the student’s academic performance. The Committee has the obligation to assure that the rules of the School and the rights of the individuals involved have been fairly met. Decisions are transmitted for the Committee by the Associate Dean for Academic and Student Programs. Students have the right to appeal such decisions by direct petition to the Promotions Committee. In the event of such an appeal, the Committee may gather evidence and hear witnesses. The student involved has the right to be heard by the Committee and may call a reasonable number of witnesses to testify in his/her behalf. The Promotions Committee is the final decision-making body with regard to the promotion process. The student has the right to request the Office of the Provost to review any determinations made by the Promotions Committee of the School of Medicine relative to academic performance on his/her part.
Leaves of Absence may be granted to students with documented health problems (medical leave of absence), or to those with appropriate educational opportunities outside the School (educational leave of absence), for personal reasons (personal leave of absence); or the medical school can put students on an administrative leave of absence.
Any students whose enrollment is continued by the Promotions Committee, or, in the case of Leaves of Absence, by the Vice Dean for Medical Education or his/her designee, is considered to be making academic progress toward the M.D. degree.
Grading
The grading system throughout all years of the School’s curriculum is:
- ‘H’ (Honors)
- ‘S’ (Satisfactory)
- ‘U’ (Unsatisfactory)
- ‘I’ (Incomplete)
The exception to this rule is Year 3 where an S+ (Satisfactory with commendations) can be achieved in all clerkships. The minimum passing grade is 'S.' In order to be promoted from year to year, students must obtain 'S' on all course work and complete all requirements established by course directors.
Graduation Requirements
Students regularly registered in the School of Medicine may receive the degree Doctor of Medicine upon the fulfillment of the following requirements:
- They must be at least 21 years of age, must exhibit good moral character, and must be suitable for the practice of medicine.
- They must have satisfactorily completed all the academic requirements established by the School.
- They must have paid all fees in full, and have all holds released.
- They must pass Step 1 and pass Step 2 (clinical knowledge) and Step 2 (clinical skills) of National Board examinations.
