The academic rigor of the MMM core curriculum will help develop your critical thinking skills and your ability to solve complex problems in a health care setting. Below are the courses you need to complete the degree. To earn the MMM degree, you'll need to complete 144 units (equivalent to 12 full semester courses) of coursework.

Prerequisites

Physicians are required to complete prerequisite courses prior to admission into the program. There are two options:
