School of Medicine MCWfusion Curriculum
Launched July 2023.
The MCWfusion Difference
We understand that choosing a medical school is a critical life decision – it's about finding the place that fits your learning style, your lifestyle, and your career goals.
At MCW, from day one you’ll have easy access to your fellow students, nationally-recognized faculty, and the best medical education resources.
Our MCWfusion curriculum provides a phased approach for a comprehensive medical education, including doctoring threads paired with practice opportunities.
Phase 1
Phase 1 provides system-based foundational science training and immersive clinical experiences.
Phase 2
Phase 2 consists of core clinical experiences arranged in integrated blocks.
Phase 3
Phase 3 offers individualization, differentiation, and two acting internships.
Doctoring Threads
Doctoring Threads are integrated throughout all phases: communication skills, health equity, critical thinking, patient care skills, health systems science, character and professional development, interprofessional education and practice.
Support For Academic Success
Learning Communities
Your Learning Community will become your support system during medical school. You will interact with a small group of peers and a faculty navigator while nurturing your adaptive learner skills and obtaining academic advising and coaching.
Spiral Weeks
During Spiral Weeks, you will create and act on individual development plans for excellence and remediation and develop meaningful connections with peers and faculty.
Scholarly Concentrations

MCW's Scholarly Concentrations include Basic to Translational Research, Bioethics and Medical Humanities, Clinical to Translational Research, Clinician Educator, Health Systems Management and Policy, Quality Improvement and Patient Safety, and Urban and Community Health.
