Students spend all four years at the WellSpan Health regional campus in York, PA. The same curriculum is taught at all three Temple Lewis Katz School of Medicine campuses, and students are evaluated using the same exams and other metrics. This modern evidence-based curriculum, with extensive hands-on clinical training and integration of basic sciences and clinical medicine, prepares students exceptionally well for further training in residency and life-long career development.
With only 40 students in each class, the WellSpan campus is distinguished by its intimate learning environment. Students get to know the faculty during their pre-clinical courses and then go on to rotate with many of the same faculty during their third- and fourth-year clerkships at WellSpan York Hospital, WellSpan Surgery and Rehabilitation Hospital, Apple Hill Surgery Center, and our outpatient practices.
Students who are part of the North Philadelphia campus cohort are also welcome to complete some of their third- and fourth-year clerkships at WellSpan, and elective rotations are available at the St. Luke’s (Bethlehem, PA) and North Philadelphia campuses as well.
Learning is supported by the academic resources available at both campuses. These include libraries, clinical simulation centers, and technology support. Research and other scholarly opportunities at both campuses complement and enhance the academic experience.
