Why the curriculum is organized by year anyway
Many modern schools compress the traditional first two years, begin clerkships earlier, or integrate disciplines across organ systems. This Academy uses a four-year learner map because it is easy to navigate, but each module can be moved earlier or later to match the student's actual school schedule.
