Chapter (3)
The curriculum is formed of two stages, when they are accomplished successfully; the student gets the grade of the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBCh).

The first Phase Pre-clerkship Phase:


This phase aims for making the student able to study the medical sciences in the integrated system, and it consists of 6 educational semesters through the first 3 years. The first semester is a Preliminary semester for preparing the students for high education in general and medical education especially. The student gets a concentrated English course and another course to make him capable of getting international Computer Driving license (ICDL). Moreover, the student learns how to get the information through the E-libraries and the available resources of the internet. He also gets courses about medical ethics and the rules governing his faculty and his rights and duties. Then the student starts to study the basics medical sciences in the form of educational units which mix between the basic medical sciences that explain the structure, function, chemistry and genes of the body and its cells in a practical and clinical context. Then through the next 5 semesters the student begins to study the medical courses in the form of integrated systems. This phase represents the base on which the second phase (the stage of dealing with patients) will depend on. In this stage, students get to learn the basics of the medical

International Undergraduate Medical Program

14

sciences in a deeper and more precise way. In addition, this phase will include a course for Professional Skills Development, in which the student starts by learning the communication skills with patients, followed by skills of clinical examination and first aid, etc. This phase also includes the basics of the behavioral sciences and the human rights. This course runs though the 5 semesters from the second till the sixth. At this phase, the student also studies an introduction about the science of epidemiology, medical statistics, and the bases of medical research. He is also introduced to the nature of the bed work either in hospitals or in primary medical care centers. In addition, he gets to learn the basics of fighting the infections and also the basics of the quality control in medical care.

The second Phase Clerkship Phase:


This phase lasts for 6 semesters and it aims for preparing the students for professional practicing, in which they are trained through direct interaction with patients in the general and specialized clinical departments. It ends with a period of condensed clinical practice for 20 weeks where the students pass again on the different clinical departments (Pre Internship Rotation). This period is followed by anexit exam which includes all basic clinical skills determined for the students. The students should pass this exam in order to get the bachelor degree of medicine and surgery, but its marks are not included in the total score of the student.

Clause (9): General conditions for registration


1-

The applicant must have a certificate of the completion of the secondary school from the Arab Republic of Egypt or an equivalent degree from a scientific institution recognized by the University and of the Supreme Council of Universities.

Payment of tuition fees must be on time determined by the faculty. Clause (10): Credit point system ECTS ECTS is the system that is approved by the European Organization for Higher Education and is applied in weighing the courses and in the assessment of students. It is a systematic way to describe the curriculum by identifying credit points for parts of the educational programs, based on the effort of the students represented by the number of study hours required to achieve the learning objectives (ILOS). This system is based on the fact that a student ,during the school year, can make from 1500 1800 hours, from which every 25-30 hours are translated into a single credit point added to the tally , so the student can collect about 50-60 points through the year or the single academic level as a maximum . These points reflect the amount of the required effort per every single unit of the curriculum. It includes the academic and training efforts such as attending lectures and practical lessons and self learning activities, workshops, and other scientific activities, either in the library, the hospital, or the classrooms, or home. Therefore the system focuses on the overall burden of students and is not restricted on the contact hours with teachers.

International Undergraduate Medical Program

17

Credit Points are distributed on all curricular units, either obligatory or electives. The credit points are awarded only when the student completes his study of all courses and pass all examinations successfully. Total points adopted for the program: 60 credit points per year x 6 levels = 360 points distributed over the various courses. CLAUSE (11) : learning Activities

The learning activities consist of several-pronged strategy to achieve the intended learning outcomes and academic standards in conformity with the national academic reference standards.
1. Theoretical information : 40%-60% of study time 12-

2. Practical , Clinical , and Professional skills : 60%-40% 12Practical Lessons Clinical and Professional skills 18

International Undergraduate Medical Program

The student starts practicing on these skills from the first year in a long course that extends throughout the years of education. The practicing takes place in a center of developing clinical skills for the first three years , then ( from the fourth till the sixth year ) in takes place in the different basic clinical departments including the University hospitals , outpatient clinics , emergency departments , hospitals of the Ministry of Health , Health Insurance and Family Medicine Centers.

Note :
A ratio of 60% lectures, 40% practical and clinical or 40% lectures, 60% practical and clinical are determined according to the requirement of the components of the educational unit , taking into account that the ratio of self-education , practical education , and clinical education rises as the student progress through their study years .
-

60% - 75% of study time is specified for practical and clinical practice in case of special courses, like computing skills, information proficiency and professional development.
-

How to apply the means of self-learning?


1.

E-Learning : A certain percentage ( starts with about 10 % ) is allocated from the lectures into the electronic form ( text , power point presentation) . A link on the internet is determined where the student can look up for medical information in textbooks or multimedia.

2.

Tutorial Classes : Students are divided into small groups ( 50 students) and they discuss in the educational meeting an identified subject through questions & answers and seminars , the student should have the basic role in leading the discussion .

International Undergraduate Medical Program

19

3.

Integrated Learning Activity(ILA): Students are divided into small groups who attend a meeting that lasts for an hour twice a week with a tutor who is responsible for this activity in the educational unit .

4. Team Based Learning :


-

This activity can be applied on a group of students up to 50-100 students, in the presence of an instructor. A part of the educational unit is determined for this activity and the students are directed to reading information about this part in determined resources (references, internet links, and handouts) before the meeting.

The cession starts with giving the students an objective exam (MCQ , T&F , EMQ ) which covers the intended learning outcomes in this section .The exam is answered by the students individually and the answer sheets are collected to be corrected either electronically immediately or later on by the students themselves. Then the students are divided into small groups and answer the questions of the exams again together. The instructor asks each team to give its answer for every question and then the instructor gives the correct answer. Each team is asked to give the reasons for its answer and right and wrong answers are discussed between groups with the help of the instructor.

Students might be asked for criticizing the questions or determine questions that were not clear and a better suggestion for the form of questions.

Summary of total marks of subjects and stages The system for grading of the students:
Two Systems are used to rank the students according to total score they obtain: I-European system ECTS: The students are divided into two main groups: successful and failure, and then divide each group as follows: 1) Successful students are ranked descendingly according to the total and then divided into five grades: A: Students with the highest 10% of the totals B: students who constitute the following 25 %. C: students who constitute the following 35 % after the previous one. D: students who constitute the following 25% E: the last 10% of the successful students. 2) Failed students: F: The highest 50% of the total failure. FX: The following 50% The benefit of this system is that it allows students to transfer to universities, which follows a system of ECTS or accepted for postgraduate studies in the same universities. II- The current system in the Egyptian faculties: Excellent: More than 85% Very good: from 75 to less than 85% Good: from 65 - to less than 75% Fair: 60 to less than 65% The European system ECTS can be changed into the current system using a statistical method, depending on the highest score which the first student gets in the same year.
