  3. Expected Duties

  4. What are we doing now • The complete ILOs for the programme have been given, • So that the courses comprising the programme can be justified by the programme ILOs which they satisfy. • Each ILO was given a code or number so that it can be easily referred to

  5. Academic Standards Intended learning outcomes Curricula Student assessment Student achievement Quality of Learning Opportunities Teaching and learning Student support Learning resources Research and Other Scholarly Activity Community Involvement The Effectiveness of Quality Management and Enhancement

  8. Academic program • It is a series of courses that have both theoretical and practical components and are designed to prepare students as physicians. • Academic programs typically involve several years of study, allowing time and opportunities for learners to develop essential competencies . • Upon successful completion of an academic program, graduates normally receive a degree, certificate,

  9. GUIDLINES FOR COMPLETINGA COURSE SPECIFICATION • The institution should have a file for each course "Course File" containing • the course specification, • samples of previous examination sheets, • results of student evaluation of the course • any other relevant information.

  17. 1- Course Aims: • Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant, and assessable qualities.

  18. Course Aims • A collection of the course-specific goals that are derived from the overall objectives of the education programme. • They are written in a general manner concentrating on the knowledge, skills and attitudes that the course intends to develop in the students.

  19. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs ) OF THE COURSE • The knowledge, understanding and skills which the faculty intends to have been gained by the students completing the course.

  20. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs ) • The development of clear, concise, and measurable learning objectives is a critical step in planning your course • ILOs are statements that describe what the students will know and be able to do after completing your course.

  21. Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs ) • Your students are very interested in the objectives—they want to know what they are going to learn. • Clear objectives help you determine the course content, decide how you will teach the course, and identify how students’ learning Should be assessed.

  22. ILOs Content ( What is taught) Methods (how it is taught) Assessment (how students’ achievement is assessed)

  23. Intended learning outcomes

  24. 2- Intended Learning Outcomes from the Course:a- Knowledge and understanding: The main information to be gained and the concepts that should be understood from the course.

  25. 2- Intended Learning Outcomes from the Course: b- Intellectual skills: What the course will assist in developing in the students such as: analysis, capability for creative thinking, problem identification and solving, ..….etc.

  26. 2- Intended Learning Outcomes from the Course: c- Professional (practical, clinical) skills: The ability of the student, after completing the course, to apply and adopt the topics into professional applications (psychomotor).

  27. 2- Intended Learning Outcomes from the Coursed- General and transferable skills: • Skills of general nature, that are transferable to employment and can be applied in any subject area, including: written and oral communication, the use of new technological tools, group working, problem solving, management, ….. .etc.

  28. Examples of overall aims: knowledge Students will be able to demonstrate a knowledge of the normal structure of the body and of each of its major systems

  29. Examples of overall aims:knowledge • The students will be able to Demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, complications, principles of prevention and management of common and life-threatening illnesses affecting the body and each of its major organ systems.

  30. Examples of overall aims:Practical /clinical skills • Demonstrate the ability to identify the normal anatomy of the body and of each of its major organ systems.

  31. Examples of overall aims:Practical /clinical skills • Demonstrate an ability to obtain an accurate medical history that covers all essential aspects of the history, • Demonstrate an ability to perform both a complete and an organ system specific examination, including a mental status examination.

  32. Examples of overall aims: Intellectual skills • Demonstrate an ability to construct appropriate management strategies (both diagnostic and therapeutic) for patients with common conditions, • Demonstrate an ability to recognize and outline an initial course of management for patients with serious conditions requiring critical care.

  33. Examples of overall aims:General and transferable skills • Communicate effectively with patients, their families and the community through verbal, written and other non-verbal means of communication, • Demonstrate an ability to pose a research question, help develop a protocol, assist in carrying out the research, and disseminate the results.
