The MD program at AIMU is structured to align with the medical education system of the United States. It is divided into two main phases: the Basic Sciences phase, conducted on the AIMU campus, and the Clinical Sciences phase, which takes place in affiliated hospitals and clinical facilities in the United States and other countries.
