Overview
It is important for both medical students and graduates to have an acute sense of professional behaviour during interactions with others in clinical, academic, and co-curricular activities.
By acquiring practice-based learning and improvement skills, including how to access and evaluate medical information, students learn how to provide effective up-to-date patient care. Learning how to use evidence-based medicine and skills related to patient safety and continuing quality improvement furthers students’ development into graduates competent in practice-based learning.
Our comprehensive curriculum equips students with the essential skills and knowledge for patient care. From history-taking to physical examinations, test interpretation to clinical reasoning, our program prepares students to diagnose and manage a wide range of patient conditions in various care settings.
