MCC Admissions
MCC Degree Course Overview
In order to obtain a Masters in Clinical Cardiology (MCC) (Non Invasive) Degree, at
the International University School of Medicine (IUSOM) – Michigan Clinical Campus
in Dearborn, Michigan, USA, the students are required to successfully complete 6
Semesters (duration of such each Semester being 6 months) covering Theory &
Clinical Rotations/Clerkships at Ark Medical Center (AMC) and at AMC-Affiliated
Hospitals located in Michigan, USA as well at MIOT Hospital in Chennai (India) and at
other Cardiology Hospitals & Institutes situated in Asia.
This Masters in Clinical Cardiology (MCC) Degree Program is available as a 36
months (six Semesters in total) full-time course. IUSOM – Michigan Clinical Campus
Students will gain knowledge and experience in the theory and clinical application of
evidence-based cardiology practice at Ark Medical Center (AMC) and at AMC-
Affiliated Hospitals in Michigan, USA together with at MIOT Hospital in Chennai (India)
and at other Cardiology Hospitals & Institutes situated in Asia. The MCC Degree
Program covers the complete spectrum of the management of cardiovascular
diseases including full cardiac investigations and preventions. In this MCC Degree
course, most of the learning occurs as a result of clinical experience (experiential
learning and on-the-job learning) and self-directed study. The degree of self-direct
learning will increase as IUSOM students become more experienced. Lectures and
formal educational sessions make up only a small part of this course. Students will be
able to interact with their tutors and fellow students via an online virtual learning
environment. Clinical placements are completed across key areas of cardiology
practice providing the opportunity for students to be immersed in the practicalities of
provision of complete medical care rather than learning only about the theory.

India), and other Cardiology Hospitals & Institutes in Asia believe that their MCC
Degree Course offers a truly unique and highly fulfilling student experience as we
offer a comprehensive program that includes all aspects in the management of
