Objectives of the Conventional (Credit hours) program
- Achieve integration between basic and clinical medical sciences, reaching the ninth degree in the first phase and the sixth degree in the second phase of the program.
- Emphasizing self-education and scientific research abilities as well as preparing a student able to continuously educate on the medical field.
- Making use of various sources of knowledge such as textbooks, , periodicals, medical researches and the web.
- Making use of the university’s e-learning infrastructure.
- Interactive teaching and training in a workbase environment.
- Utilising the skills lab to develop basic clinical skills before practicing them on patients.
- Including elective courses within the curriculum.Adopting objective evaluation methods
- The undergraduate program aims to prepare a graduate who begins his medical career armed with the knowledge and skills (basic, cognitive and professional) that enable him to perform his duties as a primary health care physician, and gives him the ability to solve medical problems that he will face and makes him ready to engage in postgraduate studies and training, motivated by specialization, and be able to practice self- and life-long education. The program also aims to provide students with sound moral values and characteristics, and to develop their professionalism. As the main goal of any of the medical curricula, it aims that the graduate doctor be able to solve the patients’ medical problems and to serve the community.
Teaching and learning methods
- Traditional education strategy
This strategy adopts the use of lectures and practical lessons for students in order to help stimulate the acquisition of information directly, with an emphasis on achieving horizontal and vertical integration between courses within different semesters, eliminating duplication of topics, shortening curricula, and providing students with clinical skills in the pre-clinical as well as clinical phase, while ensuring that the content of each course includes knowledge and skills targeted for learning to achieve the competencies required for students.
- Self-learning strategy
Independent learning "Self-directed / self-regulated learning" Strategy
Self-learning is a learning activity carried out by the learner-on his own- to acquire skills, knowledge, concepts and values in order to develop his potentials and capabilities, in which the learner is the focus of the educational process.
This strategy aims to learn to learn, that is, for the learner to acquire the necessary skills that enable him to learn continuously to face the academic tasks and deal with the sources of science and knowledge in the academic stage as well as the following stages of his practical life. The role of the teacher is manifested in:
- Encouraging critical thinking
- Providing scientific resources and suitable environment to self-learning.
- Developing reading and analysis skills and urging students to link learning to life situations.
- Individual learning strategy
It is represented in the efforts made by the faculty member in responding to academic differences between students. The faculty member diversifies his teaching method so as to provide students, whether as an individual or a homogeneous small group, with the best learning opportunities based on the student’s readiness, interests, or previous learning experiences. The strategy includes the following aspects:
Content: It defines what the student needs to learn, and how to reach the students in the
easiest way.
Process: Defines the activities students engage in until the content makes sense and they
reach a level of content learning mastery.
Outputs: Identifies students' own applications according to what has been learned and
expands its scope.
Learning Environment: Determines the method of the teaching and learning process in the
classrooms, and the prevailing feelings between students and the faculty member,
to achieve academic success in the educational process through methods that
meet their different levels.
- Integrative Problem-solving learning strategy “Problem based/Task Based Learning”
This strategy aims at training the scientific way of thinking It is done by notifying the students and provoking their thinking about a problem (appropriate to their level, and related to the topic of the lesson) that they cannot solve easily, but rather by searching and exploring facts leading to a solution. Through a situation that leads to interacting with it to produce original and useful solutions.
This strategy includes:
Identifying the different aspects of the problem.
Addressing the problem in a way that helps to identify and analyse it and try to find its appropriate solutions.
Evaluate the ideas that have been reached and identify different alternatives for the appropriate solution to the problem.
- Inquiry Based / Critical Thinking Strategy
It is the continuous and automatic development of students’ cognitive ability as a result of letting them face situations, tasks and problems that they have to solve and deal with using the principle of doubt and testing opinions in the light of their previous knowledge in order to reach conclusions away from prejudices. This strategy depends primarily on the use of thinking skills, while its importance is evident in acquiring logical thinking skills, persuasion and arguments.
- Experiential education strategy
It is suitable for applying and evaluating the information studied and supports theoretical methods that may not be sufficient.
This strategy relies on making the learner acquire experiences by himself, relying on himself to acquire skills that will help him in the future during the post-graduation period.
- Collaborative learning strategy
A strategy in which students work together in small groups to perform a specific task or project that meets their needs and interests and that matches their strengths. The number of members of a cooperative learning group ranges from two to six students who interact with each other and cooperate in helping each other to achieve learning. Among the forms of interaction of members of the collaborative learning group: brainstorming, reflective discussions, deliberation for decision-making, and conducting research.
This strategy aims to:
Increase students' respect and understanding of others' abilities, interests and needs.
Improving the outcomes of the education process in terms of positive self-esteem, improving social adjustment, mental health, acquiring social skills, increasing academic achievement, and reaching a high level of mental reasoning.
Reducing the level of competition and alleviating the low level of self-esteem that some students may reach as a result of their previous failures.
- IT assisted learning strategy
Learning strategy with the help of information technology
This strategy aims to create an educational system that relies on interactive information and communication technology (such as the Internet, television channels, e-mail, computers, teleconferences...) in providing educational or training programs to students at any time and in any place, using a synchronous or asynchronous method. This strategy provides regular evaluation of teaching and learning with the help of information technology in all its various forms, including (integrated learning systems, interactive multimedia, interactive learning environments).
- Peer Assisted learning / evaluation strategy
The goal of this strategy is to train students to teach, evaluate, criticize and make decisions. As well as introducing them to the way in which the process of correction and evaluation is carried out, in order to take them into consideration in their future work and practice.
Study plan:
Studying at the Faculty of Medicine, Mansoura University is regular, and the student must follow lectures, practical and clinical sessions.
