UHS Introduces Modular Integrated Curriculum For Medical Colleges

For its affiliated medical and dental colleges, the University of Health Sciences (UHS) has chosen to implement a new modular integrated curriculum syllabus. Beginning on March 1st, new classes will be held in medical and dental colleges, and the new syllabus will go into effect.

The medical and dental colleges connected to the UHS will implement a modular integrated curriculum, per the specifics. Students studying in medical and dental colleges will begin their first year of study with clinical subjects under the new curriculum.

Basic medical science courses were taught to medical and dental students for the first two years, and clinical courses began in the third year.

Vice-Chancellor (VC) UHS Prof. Ahsan Waheed Rathore said during a meeting in this regard that the decision was made on the recommendation of the Pakistan Medical Commission (PMC) in accordance with the accreditation criteria of the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME).

In order to gain international recognition for Pakistan’s medical and dental degree programmes, PMC is already collaborating with the WFME.

In order for Pakistani doctors to be able to practise abroad, particularly in the United States, they must first complete the WFME assessment, which includes a physical visit, within 12 to 15 months (US).

A modular integrated curriculum is a type of educational program in which the curriculum is divided into smaller, self-contained units called modules. Each module covers a specific topic or subject area, and the modules can be rearranged or rearranged to meet the needs of the students or the goals of the educational program.

Modular integrated curricula are often used in online and distance learning programs, as they allow students to work at their own pace and choose which modules to complete in what order. They can also be used in traditional classroom settings to provide flexibility and customization in the educational experience.
