Spiral Curriculum
At the heart of Trinity’s commitment to excellence is a new spiral curriculum designed to provide a comprehensive medical education that integrates both foundational knowledge and practical skills. This repetition-based curriculum is meticulously structured to ensure that students not only excel academically but also develop the clinical skills necessary for a successful medical career. This curriculum is delivered through a blend of traditional lectures, interactive simulations, and hands-on clinical experiences.
“It is the best curriculum for medical school, period,” said Dr. Manahan, the Dean of Clinical Sciences. “Our students, like many others, learn best by repetition. Spiral curriculum allows for all different learning styles and that repetition throughout students’ four years with us means that by the time they graduate and start their residency, they have reached a mastery level of each system.”
