Basic Medical Sciences:
The first year begins with the Core Principles of the Biomedical Sciences. The goal of the Core is to introduce the fundamental principles and vocabulary for each of the sciences basic to the practice of medicine. This is not the entire course time for these scientific disciplines as each discipline has an important role in the integrated organ systems modules. The discipline coordinator for each of the basic sciences in the Core have
worked with faculty to integrate the core concepts in their organ modules.
The second half of the first year and the second year are organised into integrated organ systems and modules. The organ system modules feature integrated teaching of basic molecular, cellular, and organ systems processes in conjunction with mechanisms of disease. Sophisticated scientific information is introduced in a clinical context,
illustrating its clinical relevance, and enhancing the students’ learning.
Each module begins with a brief review of micro and gross structure and progresses through physiology, pathophysiology, radiology, pathology, and pharmacology of disorders of the subject organ system. The learning methodologies include group discussions, demonstrations, workshops, self-study, and lectures.
After completing the first two years curriculum, student will have an easily retrievable, multidisciplinary corpus of biomedical knowledge about the organisation, function, and systems of the human body in health; a “beginners” ability to integrate, synthesise, apply, and communicate that knowledge in clinical contexts; and the capability to retrieve this knowledge accurately and systematically, apply it appropriately in understanding both normal and abnormal human biological processes, and demonstrate the ability to think critically about these processes and the problems of patients.
The study of medicine is a powerful integration of science, technologies, experience, and experiment that enables its students to alleviate human pain and suffering wherever in the world it may occur. At its finest, it is a quest to improve the human condition.
By eliminating unnecessary redundancies in educational material, and by more fully integrating topics in Basic medical sciences, Hospital practicals are now able to start
even from first year. This has the advantage of providing students more flexibility and diversity in subsequent educational activities, thereby giving them opportunities to explore different clinical areas.
Teaching activities in all years involve lectures, small-group sessions, team-based learning, simulations, laboratories, and clinical activities. Ultimately, we strive to create the best clinicians and physician-scientists, professionals whose knowledge, compassion, and leadership will serve as examples of excellence both to peers and patients alike. Implicit in this goal is a desire to ensure that our students will enthusiastically embrace these opportunities for growth to become true lifelong learners.#
