Your dream of earning a medical degree is now just a click away.
Attending medical school is now possible with minimum disruption to
your profession, your home, and your life.
Becker College in Worcester, Mass, and Harcum College in Bryn Mawr,
PA, are offering an "Introduction to Medicine" course—your first step
towards medical school.
Students in the "Introduction to Medicine" course fly or drive in
every other weekend to take the coursework on campus. Weekday
residential programs also are available.
After successfully completing the "Introduction to Medicine" course,
you may enter the world's first Distance Learning Medical School,
where you can complete your pre-clinical studies on-line with
supervision from a physician mentor in your community.
Oceania University of Medicine is recognized by the World Health
Organization and the Education Commission for Foreign Medical
Graduates, the prerequisites to practice in the United States.
The Program
The weekend fly-in/drive-in program for working healthcare
professionals begins every other Friday morning and runs all day
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Students typically arrive on campus
Thursday night and leave on Sunday evening.
Because the intensive weekend program is taught every other week, the
entire course is taught in eight sessions over 16 weeks. The weekend
off in between sessions gives students a chance to study, rest, and
attend to personal business.
Chiropractors, nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants,
physical therapists, paramedics, and other healthcare professionals
find that this program suits their needs.
A weekday program, offered Monday through Friday, also is available to
all qualified students.
The Course
Students find themselves totally immersed in the study of medicine and
the treatment of disease.
Providing a comprehensive introduction to all human
systems—cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal,
musculoskeletal, neurological, reproductive, endocrine, immune, and
psychosocial—the course teaches students the mechanisms of
interconnection among these systems and how to use both basic
laboratory sciences and bedside medicine to begin the diagnosis and
treatment of patients.
Students use the case study approach to illustrate each topic,
focusing their work on web-based research and independent study
integrated with classroom lectures. Regular visits to hospital and
clinic settings are also part of the curriculum.
Costs
Tuition cost for the program is $6,000, which includes lab, library,
and all other instruction related fees.
Depending upon student needs, on-campus housing and meal service is available.
Becker College
Half of double room - $600
Single room - $900
Meal plan - $360
Harcum College
Room and meal plans will be announced shortly.
Financial aid is not available for the "Introduction to Medicine"
course. For those students who enroll in Oceania, student loans are
available to qualified US citizens. For information about that, click
