The University of Health Sciences (UHS) is shaking things up for the MBBS curriculum, especially for 3rd and 4th year students. They’ve already been running a modular system for first- and second-year students, and now they’re extending that same approach to later years.
At a meeting chaired by the UHS Vice Chancellor, Professor Ahsan Waheed Rathore, top medical education experts sat down to discuss how these changes will roll out. According to Prof Rathore, this shift to a more modular style will help students by providing them with more integrated learning experiences.
What’s new in all this? Well, clinical training is getting a major boost. From the third year onward, students will now be doing 12 to 14 hours of clinical training per week, giving them more hands-on experience than before. Prof Rathore emphasized that while the MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions) system will remain in place for evaluations, the real focus now is on clinical skills and practical learning.
Another big change is the inclusion of family health and community medicine courses in the revised curriculum. UHS wants to emphasize primary healthcare, which is a key area for medical professionals.
In short, UHS is stepping up the game by making sure that future doctors aren’t just good at passing exams but also equipped with the practical skills needed in the field. Many feel this move towards a more practical and integrated approach is long overdue.
