INDEPENDENT STUDIES PROGRAM INFO
|
||||||||
St. Luke School of Medicine also offers a medical curriculum, online, for students with previous advanced training in medical related fields. The independent studies program is self-paced. The independent studies curriculum is similar to the onsite Basic Science courses with a few exceptions: (1) There are regular examinations, online. (2) Independent studies students must keep up with their course workload, grades, and schedule; (3) Any student falling behind will be removed from this program and be required to study onsite. (4) Laboratory work may be simulated with CD-ROM or online software, or done with lab kits. For example, students can look-up histology images online, on CD-ROM, or at home with their own microscope and histology slides. (5) Students can study at their own pace, however, they must complete each course/class within 32 weeks from when they started that course/class. The Basic Science Independent Studies course must be completed within 3-1/2 years from the start. Students must show they completed at least 64 weeks of Basic Science instruction to move on to clinical sciences. All independent studies students must use their own computers, Quick Time, and Netscape 4.0. Netscape or Internet Explorer browsers are compatible with our coursework. A student can begin independent studies courses at any time. Students enrolled in the online program must purchase additional course materials at their own expense. They may have to purchase the Computer-Aided Learning software that is available at most medical bookshops or our online bookstore. If you have questions about the independent studies program, please call, email or fax the St. Luke School of Medicine Independent Studies Program Admissions Department. |
