  3. Degree Requirements • Courses are taken over three phases: • Phase one: One year premedical • Phase two: Three years integrated basic science • All body systems are studied in integrated blocks with clinical relevance • Phase three: Two years clinical rotations in the different fields of Medicine and Surgery • One year of internship is required following graduation.

  4. Year 1: Pre-medical Prgram • Courses are common for all disciplines within Al-Maarefa College

  5. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks • The first semester of year 2 contains the three foundation blocks that introduce the principles of all basic sciences: • ANAT 214: Anatomy, Histology, Embryology • PHSL 228: Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology • PATH 215: Pathology, Microbiology, Community Medicine • These blocks run over an eight-week period each, with some overlap between them, and not throughout the semester.

  6. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks

  7. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks • Pre-requisites for the three foundation blocks: • ENGL 102, • BIOL 101, and • CHEM 101 • The three foundation blocks (ANAT 214, PHSL 228, PATH215) are all pre-requisites to carry on with the integrated body system blocks that follow.

  8. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks •  The body system blocks integrate the related disciplines: • anatomy, histology, embryology, physiology, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, and clinical cases related to the system being studied • The three foundation blocks are a pre-requisite to all system blocks.

  9. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks

  10. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks

  11. Years 2,3,4 Body system blocks

  12. Years 5,6 Clinical Rotations • Clinical rotations in various medical and surgical disciplines take place during the fifth and sixth years. • Successfully passing a minimal of 135 credit hours (including ALL system blocks) is a pre-requisite to start these clinical rotations

  13. Years 5,6 Clinical Rotations

  18. Final exam eligibility • Absence < 25% • Attendance shall be taken regularly • First warning sent when absence: 10% • Second warning when absence reaches 20% • If absence is 25% or more: • Can not attend final exam • Fails the course

Absence from exams • A student who was absent from an exam should produce a valid and acceptable excuse within one week from exam date • Valid excuse should be approved by the chairperson, or academic committee to be able to have a substitute (remedial) exam • If excuse was not approved: could not have a substitute (remedial) exam

  23. Grades and Points Earned • Points earned from each course is calculated: • Number of credit hours X multiplication factor

  24. Grades and Points earned • Points earned from each course is calculated by multiplying umber of credit hours X multiplication factor

  25. Semester cumulative index • The cumulative index for each semester is calculated by dividing number of earned points by the number of credit hours • The cumulative index: 28 / 13 = 2.15 (out of 4)

  26. Overall cumulative index • The overall cumulative index is calculated by dividing number of earned points in all semesters by the number of credit hours registered in all semesters

  27. Overall cumulative index • Comments • Should start with a good cumulative index • If started low, will be difficult to improve cumulative index in coming courses • If cumulative index <1.75: • Scholarship is lost • Warning is issued from college • Should leave college of medicine if not improved next semester
