Texila’s students will be following the same exclusive medical education curriculum that PHSU provides to its students.

Along with its MD program, PHSU offers a number of other medical education programs, including PhD degrees in Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Psychology; a PsyD in Clinical Psychology; a Master in Public Health (MPH); a Master of Science in Medical Sciences (MSMS); and a DrPH in Epidemiology.
