Certificates

One of the guiding principles of the Shared Discovery Curriculum (SDC) is to allow students to develop and demonstrate not just competence but also expertise in an area of their interest. This effort is documented through the achievement of certificates. Students are able to work toward certificates earlier in their medical school career, beginning as early as the first year of medical school.
