[edit] Curriculum
The School of Medicine has a unique curriculum among American medical schools. All of the basic sciences are learned in one year instead of the customary two, and clinical rotations start in the second year rather than the third. This allows a year of research or other scholarship during the third year.
[edit] Collaboration with the National University of Singapore
Duke recently announced plans to open a medical school in collaboration with the National University of Singapore. The school, called the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore, is expected to enroll its first class for the Fall of 2007.
