Doctor of Medicine

The Doctor of Medicine Degree (M.D.) is a four-year full-time medical education program that prepares students to enter a physician residency program for specialized training in every area of medicine. The M.D. curriculum is a lockstep model that features three distinct phases that comprise the four years of medical school: the foundation phase (years 1 and 2), the clerkship phase (year 3), and the individualization phase (year 4).

The Thomas F. Frist, Jr. College of Medicine at Belmont University has received Preliminary Accreditation from the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
