At Braunwald College of Medicine, we believe that the best way to learn medicine is to practice it in real-life settings—and that’s exactly what our students do.

The Braunwald Clinical Experience
Where Learning Meets Real-World Medicine
At Braunwald College of Medicine, we believe that the best way to learn medicine is to practice it in real-life settings—and that’s exactly what our students do. From the early years of your education, you’ll step into hospitals, private practices, and community clinics throughout Miami, gaining direct exposure to patient care. Our strong partnerships with local healthcare providers allow you to rotate through a wide variety of clinical environments, including internal medicine, pediatrics, surgery, family medicine, and more. Whether you're learning to read an EKG or taking a patient history in Spanish, you'll be guided by experienced physicians and supported by a collaborative healthcare team every step of the way.
Broaden Your Horizons with National Electives
These diverse clinical settings expose students to a broad range of medical conditions, patient demographics, and healthcare systems, ensuring they develop strong diagnostic, patient care, and interpersonal skills. From internal medicine and pediatrics to surgery and family medicine, students work alongside experienced physicians and healthcare teams who are committed to mentoring the next generation of doctors. In addition, Braunwald’s prestigious affiliation with the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) enhances the academic and clinical experience by offering access to additional elective rotations outside of Miami. These electives allow students to explore different healthcare environments across the country, broaden their clinical exposure, and deepen their expertise in various medical specialties. Whether serving in high-paced hospitals or grassroots community clinics, students at Braunwald College of Medicine gain the confidence, competence, and compassion essential to thrive as future healthcare leaders.
