US6721001 - Doctor of Medicine (MD)

  • OVERVIEW

    Doctor of Medicine is a 5-year programme based on the integrated system and structured according to a multi-disciplinary approach. The programme divided into two phases which is Phase 1 (preclinical) during Year 1 and 2; and Phase 2 (clinical) during Year 3, 4 and 5. The philosophy of the curriculum model is known as SPICES model. Emphasis is given to the holistic approach to the patient’s medical problem in relation to his/her family and community.

    SPICES is an acronym for Student Oriented, Problem-based learning, Integrated, Community-based, Electives and Spiral & Systematic. This approach ensures that our students receive a holistic education that is not only grounded in the theoretical aspects of medicine but also practical and real-world applications. The SPICES model fosters an environment where students are encouraged to participate in their learning actively, develop critical thinking skills, and engage in lifelong learning. To address the significant and rapid changes in the medical school curriculum, health care and technology advancement, SPICES 2.0 is also used as an educational strategy to nurture future-proof doctors. The letters are used with different meanings to show development.

    The programme implemented a credit unit and semester-based system. Our motto, "Compassionate Professional," embodies our belief that a well-rounded physician not only possesses the necessary medical knowledge and technical skills but also demonstrates empathy, kindness, and a deep concern for the well-being of patients. By embracing these values, you are preparing not just for a career in medicine but for a life dedicated to the service of others.
