California Northstate University College of Medicine is committed to delivering an educational experience to ensure the student’s goal of becoming a confident and skillful physician. The curriculum at the College of Medicine is based on Clinical Presentations (CPs); symptoms or conditions that cause patients to seek the help of a physician. Examples include “sore throat”, “headache” or “chest pain”.
At the College of Medicine, basic science, clinical knowledge, clinical reasoning, ethics training, hands-on learning of medical skills, and participation in patient care at our Sacramento affiliate hospitals and clinics will help our students become patient-centered, confident leaders in medicine.
Educational Program Objectives
The clinics and hospitals of our health system affiliations provide clinical clerkships and training in multiple medical specialties to our students. By having access to these community healthcare facilities, medical students are exposed to diverse patient populations with differing severities of illness and all under the supervision of faculty physicians.
