• Studying the physiological genomics and signal transduction in the ovary

At USD SSOM we focus on practical training. After completing the first pillar of didactic learning students enroll in our one-year integrated clerkship that puts them in real-world clinics and hospitals. Students build on these core competencies to complete their medical education with in-depth rotations and electives in their chosen specialties.

With annual class sizes limited to 71 our students get the chance to receive one-on-one mentoring directly from faculty that prepares them for the match process and the next step on the medical journey.

The department annual report highlights the team, departmental changes, education, research and scholarly activity and service over the past year.
