the horizontal directions.
• It is a spiral curriculum, allowing topics to be revisited in more depth.
In the first five semesters, the modules are 80 % basic sciences and 20%
clinical sciences to allow for students’ early clinical exposure. While
in the last 5 semesters, the modules are 80 % clinical and 20% basic
sciences.
• A wide range of educational strategies, including elements of task-
based and problem-oriented learning, community-based learning, and
approaches to teaching and learning that encourage the students to
take increasingly more responsibility for their own learning.
• Assessment methods that emphasize the overall outcomes of the
curriculum.
• The curriculum will be constantly being reviewed, refined and
updated.
• The duration of the study is five years, plus 2 years preparation of the
graduate for clinical practice as a house officer.

System-based modules:

Systems-based modules run from the year1/semester 1 until Year 3/

semester one. A system based module is centred on the various organ
systems of the body and is an integrated course that focuses on normal
and abnormal structure, function and behaviour, basic and clinical
sciences. Anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry
and histology are taught system wise (modules) in an integrated fashion.
Important clinical conditions related to that particular system are also
introduced at this stage so that the students can correlate clinical
presentation with the pathophysiology.
