Medical Course Structure Comparison - Data Collection for Wiki

Hey guys,

I am trying to update the Medicine Course Structure Wiki page and began to do so using the data from the Avicenna World Directory of Medical Schools (this is the directory which replaces the old WHO World Directory of Medical Schools.)

However to date only 11 of the 33 medical schools have competed the questionnaire about their course structure.

So I have obtained the questions from them. So if everyone can answer the following questions about their medical school, Ill take an average of the data across the medical schools to give us an indication of the course structure.

Of course once the official data is available we will replace this data, but it is not expected to occur in the next year.


1. Medical School?

Gimpy

2. Current Year?

3

3. Can your programme be characterised as a lecture-based learning and teaching approach or a student-activating or student-centred approach?
(Student-activating teaching methods are any methods that are not didactic/lecture based which are interactive and/or use the involvement of the students.)

Yes, lecture-based (skip next question)
Yes, problem-based
Yes, case-based
Yes, based on other student-activating learning/teaching methods?

4. What percentage of the entire programme is used for such student activating learning and teaching methods?
(If you can provide an estimate based on your timetable for your current academic year, and any other years if you know, we will then average it out for all the years of the programme. If you would like an example look here Medicine Wiki Course Structure, at the bottom of the page.)

1-24%
25-49%
50-74%
75-99%
100%

5. Is your programme divided into two parts; an early pre-clinical phase with no or limited clinical experience, and a following clinical phase?
(Limited clinical experience means 20% or less in that part of the programme)

Yes/No

6. Is the curriculum discipline-based or is it a partly or fully integrated curriculum?
(Integration means the programme is structured, so that related material is taught together rather than in discrete discipline based subjects. For example related basic sciences or related clinical sciences are taught and learned together and/or basic and clinical sciences are taught and learned together.)

The curriculum is discipline-based? (Skip next question)
The curriculum is partly integrated
The curriculum is fully integrated

7. What percentage of the curriculum can be characterised as integrated?
(We are aware that you probably do not have the exact statistics, however if you can approximate based upon your timetable, unless you are fully integrated in which case this won’t be needed)

1-24%
24-49%
50-75%
75-99%
100%

no idea

Thanks, If you would like some idea of what other courses are like check out the end of the Course Structure page, the eleven medical schools with data available have been added into the table at the end of the page.

Done

With bio chem done separately it makes you partly integrated.

What percentage of the course is bio chem and the separate relevant physiology?

Can you average it out as a percentage of 2nd year?

We have modules

Sci pat - Totally integrated module review of the pre clin years
MCD - Pretty much biochem and cancer with a tad immunology
LCRS - systems

So 1/3 ish?

Sweet, Check my edit.

Edit your first post with 25-49% on the integrated %age.

Done yeah we have some pbl but it said to skip the Q if lecture based...

Ill change the Q, to select more than one if applicable.

What percentage?

<25

Shall I re-edit?

Please

1. Medical School?
Manchester
2. Current Year?
2, about to start 3
3. Can your programme be characterised as a lecture-based learning and teaching approach or a student-activating or student-centred approach?
(Student-activating teaching methods are any methods that are not didactic/lecture based which are interactive and/or use the involvement of the students.)

case based.

4. What percentage of the entire programme is used for such student activating learning and teaching methods?
(If you can provide an estimate based on your timetable for your current academic year, and any other years if you know, we will then average it out for all the years of the programme. If you would like an example look here Medicine Wiki Course Structure, at the bottom of the page.)

75-99%

This varies on the year. Averaged, I've answered below. If you wan individual per year, let me know.

1-24%
25-49%
50-74%
75-99%
100%

5. Is your programme divided into two parts; an early pre-clinical phase with no or limited clinical experience, and a following clinical phase?

(We are aware that you probably do not have the exact statistics, however if you can approximate based upon your timetable, unless you are fully integrated in which case this won’t be needed)

Again, this varies by year (quite a lot)
