College Facts

What Makes Us Different

Our College of Medicine takes an entirely new approach to learning by encouraging you to pursue your passions in medical school, rather than waiting until you graduate. By working closely with faculty members, community partners, patients, physicians and scientists in an atmosphere of innovation and inquisitiveness, you will have opportunities most medical students wait years to experience.

You’ll create new scientific knowledge through our two-year Focused Inquiry and Research Experience (FIRE). You’ll learn how your cultural beliefs and your patients’ impact care. You’ll bring together basic and clinical science from the first days of medical school. This integrated curriculum is designed to teach today’s learners in an engaging, meaningful way that prepares you for a career of life-long learning. And this integrated approach has proven results. While the UCF College of Medicine is young, our first classes have outscored most other medical students on the USMLE Step 1 and 2 exams, and our graduates have matched into top, competitive programs across the community, state and nation.

Our curriculum and our teaching methods are fresh. We know how you learn is just as important as what you learn. We breathe curiosity into our approach. Classes include live patient interaction early on and often, clinical cases throughout, organ-based instructional modules, interactive lectures and labs, small groups and individualized research and study.
