In this year, 4 weeks of student selected component (SSC) is planned for the student’s self-directed learning; students will have their own choice to learn in one of the clinical departments for their further improvement in clinical practices.

Teaching/Learning   Activities

The   new   curriculum   emphasizes   on   student-centered learning. Students are responsible for active participation in small group teaching sessions; team-based learning, problem-based learning and case-based learning session. These teaching-learning strategies enabled independent decision making and improvement of communication skills which encourages the students to become lifelong learners in ever updating medical profession and science.

Assessment

The training program of the new MBBS course is very intensive; student’s commitment  and  dedicated  performance  are  fundamental to  ensure  the  achievement  of expected competencies/outcomes. Students will face several series of assessment including continuous assessments, module-end assessment and year-end assessments. According to the level (year) of the program, students competencies will be assessed by written tests/exams, practical test, viva-voce, OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) and   OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination). Attendance: all the learning process of the whole training program acquires student’s participation in both classroom setting and clinical settings. Student’s attendance and engagement  will  be  strictly  assessed  in  group  learning  activities  such  as  team-based learning, simulation-based learning and case-based learning.
