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 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 an“exit 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.

Chapter 4

Basic Rules

Clause ( 5 ) : The Alexandria Faculty of Medicine gives the bachelor of

medicine and surgery under the request of the Council of the Faculty of

Medicine.

.

Clause ( 6 ) : The period of studying for getting the bachelor degree is 12

semesters

Clause ( 7 ) : The study period for getting the bachelor degree in medicine

and surgery is divided into 2 phases :

1- Pre-Clerckship Phase

2- Clerckship Phase

Clause ( 8 ) : Study time (school calendar)

The school year consists of 2 semesters:

- Autumn ( 1st semester ) :

In preclerckship phase: it starts from the third Saturday of September

and lasts for 15 weeks

In clerckship phase: it starts in the first week of September and lasts

for 20 weeks

- Spring ( 2nd

semester ) :

In preclerckship phase: it starts from the third Saturday of February and

lasts for 15 weeks

In clerckship phase: it starts in the half of February and lasts for 20

weeks, except for the 12th

semester, it will be 16 weeks only.

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.

2- 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.

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

1- Developed lectures

2- Self-learning :

a. E-learning (10%) in the first year and rises gradually to replace

lectures

b. Tutorial Group discussion

c. Assignments and Presentations

d. Integrated Learning Activity (ILA)

e. Team Based Learning (TBL)

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

1- Practical Lessons

2- Clinical and Professional skills

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 .

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.

5. Students assignments & Presentations

This activity was applied in the academic year 2008-2009 and the

same image is applied alternately with the previously mentioned

activities.

Electives :

The students study over the school years a specified number of elective

courses in order to meet the requirements of academic standards which states

,in item 18, the importance of including elective courses that help to develop

thinking skills, skills in scientific research and creation.

In the first phase, the program includes a number of elective courses which

form 8 credit points meanwhile; the second phase contains elective courses

for 14 weeks, distributed over the semesters from the eighth to the tenth

semester.

The elective courses include courses in human sciences and general sciences

like art and medical history, languages, information technology, etc. There

are also courses in the basic medical & clinical sciences, so that the student

can chose between both groups in a determined system that is announced to

the students in the beginning of the academic year. The student is evaluated

in elective courses as successful or failed by the scorecard or objective test

and so as not to allow the student to move to the next stage without

satisfying all required elective courses.

CLAUSE ( 14) : Evaluation

The Evaluation methods are divided into:

1)-The summative exams (80% of the total mark of the semester or

the educational unit) and is divided into the following:

1. The written exams ( 50 % of total ) to be held at the end of the semester.

It includes objective questions (multiple choice, extended matching, true ,

false), short essay questions and problem-solving questions.

2. The practical and clinical exams:

2-1 practical & clinical exams in the first phase (20%):

In the form of objective structured practical & clinical exams O.S.P.E /

multistation practical exam & OSCE

2-2 clinical exams in the second phase ( Clerckship ) :

25% distributed between the objective structural clinical exam OSCE & his

grade is not less than 15% and the short case exam .

3. Assignments and Presentations

10 % in the first phase, 5 % in the second, using a prepared chick list.

2)- Mid-term and formative Exams ( 20 % of the total mark of the

semester or educational unit )

Dates of exams: Examination is held annually in the following dates:

The final exam for each semester is held in January, and June for the

first phase (preclerckship phase), and in July for the second phase

(clerkship Phase) of each year.

The resit exam is in held in August of every year for those who failed

or missed the exam. The student ,who failed in the resit exam, must

apply for the special exam of the educational unit /the clinical training

course in the next year according to the time chosen to hold the

exam, such that he won't pass from the 1st to the 2

nd stage unless he

passed the exam in all the special education units of 1st stage

A final inclusive integrated exam is held in the end of the last

semester and it is in the form of :

1 – Objective structural clinical exam (OSCE)

2 – Objective written exam, in the form of problem solving

questions.

- A central committee for the final exam is constituted, with the

consent of the Faculty Board and it is responsible for construction

of questions and supervision of exam.

- 450 points per semester are distributed on the exams and the

project with the decision of the faculty council.

- The educational courses of each educational unit should be

finished in the determined time as it is considered as a prerequisite

for the consequential educational unit in the following semester.

Clause (15) Student success is estimated according to the following assessment:

1)-The score for each educational unit is calculated according to the

European credit points system, assigned for these units as follows:

The credit point = 15 marks.

One week = 30 marks (for the second phase)

2)-The percentage of marks for each subject in the educational unit is

determined according to the weighted percentage of the scientific

content of this subject within the educational unit.

3)-The total marks for each basic scientific subject are determined by

calculating the total marks that the student got for this subject

along the 3 years of the phase. This should be equated, if

necessary, to cope with the score agreed upon by the Supreme

University Council.

4)-The mark of each clinical subject is determined according to the

number of weeks in each clinical training period, This should be

equated to cope with the score agreed upon by the Supreme

University Council, if necessary. The Cumulative marks of the

student will be also equated with the marks determined by

Supreme University Council if needed.

5)-The marks of elective courses are not added to the total score.

6)-It is not permitted to add extra marks to improve the subject

grades, either in the transfer from year to year or in the

cumulative marks.

Article (16):

The student must attend the lessons and participate in practical

exercises or research rooms with a minimum of 80%. The Faculty

Council, in accordance with the provisions of the internal rules, will

deprive the student to progress on the whole exam or in part of it, if he

does not satisfy the prescribed percentage of attendance.

Clause (17)

A failed student is that who gets less than 60 % of the total score of

any educational unit, or at least 50% of the written exams.

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.
