DEAN’S MESSAGE

ESSAGE

A very warm welcome to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya.

Welcome to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya. Whether you have enrolled into the Bachelor of

Medicine & Surgery, Nursing Science, Pharmacy or Biomedical Science or Imaging courses, you are now entering into a new and exciting phase in your life that will prepare you for a career in the medical sciences. Your admission into any of these programs is the beginning of a tremendous opportunity to receive a special, health profession education with degrees in many distinct fields leading to hundreds of health care careers in the future. The courses that you will undertake in the next 4-5 years will prepare you for a career which will entail either direct patient care or in working behind the scenes in laboratories or behind technologically advanced diagnostic equipment in clinics or hospitals. The lectures, tutorials and the practicals that you will be attending in the course of the next few years is however but a foundation and a stepping stone to what we hope will prepare you for a lifelong learning experience. In the words of perhaps one of the most accomplished and greatest physicians in recent times, Sir William Osler, "The hardest conviction to get into the mind of a beginner is that the education upon which he is engaged is not a college course, not a medical course, but a life course, for which the work of a few years under teachers is but a preparation." We hope that you will take the opportunity to engage productively not just with your academic tutors and mentors but also with your fellow students some of whom have come from different parts of the world. We also sincerely hope that your campus life will not be restricted to the pursuit of an academic qualification alone, but that you will use this opportunity to enrich your minds in other worthy pursuit whether it is community service, sports or music and culture. I wish you all well in your pursuit of an academic degree in the medical sciences and hope that you will emerge from your time at the Faculty of Medicine University of Malaya as a life-long learner with a passion and commitment to your chosen vocation.

DEPUTY DEAN’S MESSAGE

ESSAGE

n behalf of the Faculty of Medicine and all the academic staff, I extend a very warm welcome to each and

every one of you. As a faculty, we would like your education in this institution to be a rewarding and an enriching experience. This handbook has been prepared as a guide for you in the faculty. Its content is by no means exhaustive but will be very useful for you especially in your first year in this faculty. Being a student in this faculty will take a good 4- 5 years of your life depending on the programme you enrolled for. To obtain the degree, you have to put in a lot of hard work powered by dedication, sacrifice, unwavering determination, perseverance and commitment to ensure you will become not only a knowledgeable and skilful health care professional but also one who practices holistically. The education in this faculty does not stop upon graduation, but merely acts as a stepping stone to a life-time of learning in your chosen field. Medical education does not only revolve around science, but also involves the art of practising it. We want you to be curious about the programme. Everything that goes on in this institution is a learning opportunity. The skills that you will acquire include good communication skills between you and your colleagues, your patients and their families and also with members of the community. You will find that your teachers, seniors and friends are mentors in your quest to become good and ethical health care professionals, thus providing you the best apprenticeship you could possibly have. The programme in the faculty is also about character building, and, you will need to develop appropriate attitudes that contribute to the qualities necessary of your chosen profession. We hope this guidebook can be fully used to your advantage in better understanding the programme and the people entrusted to run it. The Dean’s Office along with all its support groups will try to make your stay a memorable and a fruitful one. We would like to wish you every success in your programme and hope that the years that you will spend in this faculty will be among the best in your life. Again, I wish you a warm welcome and I look forward to meeting each and every one during the course of your study with us.

HISTORY BACKGROUND

he University of Malaya was established on 8 October 1949 as a national institution to serve

the higher educational needs of the Federation of Malaya and of Singapore. In 1960, the Government of the Federation of Malaya indicated that the Kuala Lumpur Division of the University of Malaya should become the national University in the Federation with effect from the beginning session 1962/63. Likewise, the Singapore Division should become the national University of Singapore. Steps to achieve the establishment of these two separate universities were finalized during the year 1961 and the University of Malaya was established on 1st January 1962. The student population at that time was about 330. Since then, the University has grown and developed rapidly. Today, the student population has grown to almost 30,000. Establishment of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Malaya Up to the 1950’s, the Faculty of Medicine, University of Singapore, which was known previously as King Edward VII College of Medicine had been the only medical school in Malaya and Singapore. The output of doctors at that time was small: 60 per year. Many Malaysians had to go overseas to seek undergraduate medical education. It was not until 1960 that a determined effort was made to double the intake of students to 120 per year in Singapore. In 1960, a board of studies of the University of Malaya was appointed to study the feasibility of establishing a medical school with its own teaching hospital. The board recommended the early establishment of both. To this end, the Government agreed and the Ministries of Education and of Health provided the necessary capital funds. In 1962, a Dean for the Faculty of Medicine was appointed.

HISTORY BACKGROUND

he first batch of medical students was admitted to the Faculty in 1964. A year earlier, these students, 40 of

them, were placed in the Faculty of Science as pre-medical students. Construction of the faculty building began in July 1963, was completed in 10 months, so that the pioneer students were able to begin their course in May 1964. The building programme continued and the second phase was ready in time for Year II teaching the following May. Throughout this period, planning, building, ordering and receiving of equipment, recruitment of staff, organization of the Faculty, and discussions on the curriculum continued unremittingly. Phase I of the University Malaya Medical Centre consisting of the main block together with podium or “technical box” (operating theatres, radio-diagnostic, accident and emergency, polyclinic, pharmacy, central sterile supply, cafeteria, administration and medical records) was completed in December 1966, and the first wards were opened as on March 1967. Phase II of the Hospital consisting of Paediatric, Maternity and Rehabilitation Units was completed in December 1967, and became functional in March 1968. The total construction period for the Medical Centre consisting of the faculty departments, hospital (740 beds), Hostel for Clinical Students, Nurses Quarters with Nursing School and Central Animal House was three and a half years. Over the past three decades, the medical centre has expanded tremendously, and today it has 900 beds (the number will be increased to 1200 beds after renovation). Philosophy of the Faculty of Medicine The philosophy of the Faculty is to mould students to be competent, highly-skilled and knowledgeable health professionals, who can work with others as a team, who are caring and concerned about their patients and society, and who can emerge as leaders in their community.

ORIENTATION PERIOD As part of the university orientation programme, all new students undergo an orientation period where they are introduced to life on campus and in the residential colleges. In the Faculty of Medicine, the programme includes registration, briefings by the Dean and Deputy Dean and a tour of the various academic facilities at the medical centre. During this period, the students are given information about the activities of the faculty, facilities available as well the course content. An early introduction to the use of library services and the Student Information System are also made available.

MBBS PROGRAMME

PHILOSOPHY OF THE CURRICULUM

The philosophy of the New Integrated Curriculum (NIC) of the MBBS Course is to provide an integrated framework of the essential concepts of the scientific basis of medicine with early emphasis of clinical relevance. Important concepts are revisited in a “spiral effect” through all phases of the course. Problem-based, system based and evidence-based approaches are introduced to encourage self-directed learning and sharpen problem-solving skills. Formative and summative integrated assessments in all phases reflect the philosophy of the NIC. The duration of the course is 5 years and is divided into 3 phases: Phase I (1 year) Phase II (1 year) Phase III (3 yrs)

: : :

The normal human body and its function. The body‟s reaction to injury. Practice-based (clinical) medicine.

The content of the medical course is divided into three main strands that run vertically through the course, namely: 1. 2. 3.

The Scientific Basis of Medicine The Doctor, Patient, Health and Society Personal and Professional Development

The Scientific Basis of Medicine includes the study of the normal human body and its function (Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology); the body‟s reaction to injury (Pharmacology, Pathology, Medical Microbiology, Parasitology) and practice-based (clinical) medicine (Anaesthesiology, Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Primary Care Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedic Surgery, Ophthalmology, Otorhinolaryngology, Psychological Medicine, Biomedical Imaging, Emergency Medicine, Social and Preventive Medicine). The Doctor, Patient, Health And Society (DPHS) module includes the study of preventive, promotive, environmental and occupational health in the community; medical statistics, epidemiology, two field projects (Community Residency Programme; Organisation and Management of Health Services), Community Family Case Studies (CFCS) and family health. The Personal and Professional Development (PPD) module includes improvement of learning, analytical, critical thinking and communication skills, nursing skills, medical ethics, research methodology and exposure to optional fields of interest via elective programs.

SPECIFIC LEARNING ACTIVITIES IN EACH PHASE

Phase I In Phase I, the students are introduced to the normal functions of all the major systems of the body via the basic medical sciences of Anatomy, Physiology and Molecular Medicine (Biochemistry). Information is pitched at cellular, tissue and organ/system levels. Integration of the basic medical sciences is maintained. Clinical relevance and application is emphasized throughout the phase. During this phase, students are also introduced to the Professional and Professional Development (PPD) and Doctor, Patient Health and Society (DPHS) modules, strands that run throughout all 5 years of the course. At the end of Phase I the student should be able to: (1)

demonstrate an understanding and ability to integrate the basic and applied principles of normal structure, function, organisation and development of the human body.

(2)

demonstrate the ability to apply problem-solving approaches to common medical conditions and situations.

(3)

demonstrate that they developed independent learning skills using current technology.

(4)

demonstrate that they understand that socio-cultural and psychological factors influence health.

(5)

show the development of appropriate communication skills, personal and professional attitudes towards the study of medicine, patients, teachers and peers.

Phase II In Phase II, the concept of the major systems of the body is carried through to the diseased state via the applied medical sciences of Pathology, Medical Microbiology and Parasitology. Pharmacology is introduced at this stage. Application of the basic and applied medical sciences is emphasized through early contact with patients. The Paraclinical Core in Phase II comprises basic principles and concepts of the applied medical sciences and is followed by the Clinical Core where important and common clinical conditions are identified and discussed. An integrated Behavioural Science Module introduced in this stage aims to highlight principles and applications of social, cultural and psychological factors that influence health, clinical practice and the community. Effective communication skills are emphasized. The concepts of Social and Preventive Medicine are covered in Phases II and III in course modules which include theoretical and practical aspects as well as case studies. Descriptive and inferential statistics which are relevant to data collection and interpretation are also covered in Phase II.

Phase III Phase III is divided into IIIA and IIIB. (a)

Phase IIIA For the entire duration of Phase IIIA, the students reside in the branch campus in Klang. The Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang serves as a teaching hospital which provides wide clinical exposure and practice. Students are also attached to a health care centre. The main development of clinical skills and practical aspects of communicating with patients begins in this phase with a core module in history taking and interview techniques. Experience is gained in history taking, examining patients for physical disorders and diagnosis through rotational postings (8 weeks) in the disciplines of Medicine (2 postings), Paediatrics and Surgery and 4 weeks each in Primary Care Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynaecology. A Growth and Development Project begins in Phase IIIA, where a newborn is followed up for at least 18 months. Community Medicine continues with modules in epidemiology, measurement of health, sociocultural aspects of health and nutrition. The Community Residency Programme provides the opportunity for the students to conduct a simple health survey in a selected rural area in the country. The primary aim is to study Man and Health in his total environment.

MBBS PROGRAMME

Phase IIIB This phase comprises rotational postings of 8 weeks each in Medicine, Primary Care Medicine, Paediatrics, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Psychological Medicine and 2 weeks each in Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesiology, Ophthalmology and Otorhinolaryngology. Another field-based programme in community medicine is a 3-week programme called Organisation and Management of Health Services (OMHS) in which the students spend 1 week in a health district, and the remainder in-house in the faculty. The primary aim of the programme is to expose the student to the health district that s/he is expected to work in; to look at the health status of the community and relate it to the health programmes that are already implemented. A critical appraisal of the role of the various health care professionals as well as the role of the district medical officer is emphasized. The residential Kuala Langat District Posting of 4 weeks‟ duration is conducted at Banting as part of the Primary Care Medicine posting, and is to enable the student to be familiar with evaluation and management of medical and health problems at a district primary care level; and to gain practical experience by using available resources to study these problems. The students are exposed to the practice and application of the principles of clinical pharmacology and concepts in management of common and important diseases and conditions in the various disciplines. Clinical skills are essential and emergency procedures are sharpened. This phase is considered a period of “junior clerkship” where the student is considered part of the management team and should be actively involved in the patient care. The importance of correct professional behaviour and maintenance of high ethical standards is emphasized. By the end of Phase IIIB students will have completed the whole course and are expected to be able to function as a doctor. Therefore s/he is expected to possess all the attributes as a doctor. The use of Bahasa Melayu and English is encouraged in the course. The aim is to ensure students to be bilingual. Proficiency in the English language is emphasized and all University of Malaya undergraduates are required to undergo a course in English. An elective attachment of 8 weeks at the beginning of Phase IIIB gives the students an opportunity to study any subject of interest in a hospital, research centre or community practice anywhere within the country or abroad. Students are required to carry out an approved elective project and submit a written report for evaluation.

DOCTOR, PATIENT, HEALTH, AND SOCIETY (DPHS) MODULE

The DPHS module aims to help students develop appropriate attitudes in order to treat patients as whole persons and not merely as clinical entities. Students are encouraged to learn and practise the art of effective communication, whether orally or in written form, with patients, their peers and other members of the health care team. The module is also aimed at enabling students to learn the structure and function of health care facilities and how to manage care centres, to provide technical and professional advice in public health, and to use tools and methods for research and management. The DPHS module makes use of the more recognized methods of teaching in order to cover the following topics: • • • •

Communication skills Behavioural sciences Statistics and epidemiology Public health medicine

Major component of DPHS module is the Community Family Case Studies (CFCS) programme. Community Family Case Studies (CFCS) The CFCS programme provides a focus on which to apply all the theoretical knowledge gained in other parts of the course. Patients and their families are selected from ten clinical disciplines: general medicine, general surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, primary care medicine, psychological medicine, orthopaedic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, ophthalmology and rehabilitation medicine. The patients are then allocated to students to follow up for the duration of the five year course. Students work in pairs or groups of three within a group of 18 to 22 members. When the pairs or groups are allocated, a patient and family with basic details such as name, address, and telephone number and are to make contact with the patient or family to arrange a suitable time to visit. Details such as patient‟s age, diagnosis and first language are not given, as students have to find these out as part of the exercise in communication skills. A minimum of two home visits per year is expected. At each visit, students gather information on their patients and families to meet an assignment. Time is set aside in the curriculum for students to make their visits.Debriefing sessions for all groups enable students to share their visit experiences in the presence of tutors and group coordinators. The oral presentations in the debriefings are another component of communication skills and public speaking. The role of the group coordinator is to facilitate the debriefing sessions, maintain an attendance record and act as trouble-shooter should problems arise. Tutors from clinical disciplines attend debriefing sessions and rotate through the groups to hear the presentations on their patients.

MBBS PROGRAMME

PROBLEM BASED LEARNING (PBL) Within the vertical strands of the course, problem-based learning approach is introduced into the curriculum to help achieve the overall objectives of the course. The PBL requires the students to participate actively in their own learning, i.e., developing self-learning skills. In PBL, students are encouraged to undertake independent study individually and as a group, in trying to understand or solve a problem. Students learn „how to learn‟ by analysing and discussing problems or cases. It is the students who formulate learning issues (objectives) and search for information from various sources. By analysing problem, the students learn how to deal with future problems, which stimulate independent learning. Students also learn to reflect on their own learning process. The PBL process PBL tutorial sessions are conducted in groups of seven to ten students, depending on the student number in each phase. The group meets for approximately two hours once or twice a week to consider and discuss the problem (case) together, in the presence of a facilitator. The group may meet formally twice or three times for a given case. The case is designed to contain certain events which the group will have to discuss to clarify relevant issues, and identify and prioritise the learning objectives. Students are expected to spend 10-15 hours on independent seeking of information for each case, outside the formal tutorial. When they return to the group for the second session, they will bring new knowledge and information to be shared and discussed within the group. With the guidance of the facilitator, important issues and learning objectives may be further identified and discussed. Evaluation and assessment in PBL Students evaluate their own performance in learning and the facilitator‟s performance at the end of every tutorial session to reflect upon their group-learning process and individual learning experiences. This formative evaluation fosters respect, trust and develops good group dynamics for future sessions. Continuous assessment of students‟ performance is carried out to:

CONTENT

•

acknowledge active participation and contribution by students in the group

•

encourage students to be active participants, and

•

provide feedback on the students‟ performance

SOFTSKILLS / KEMAHIRAN INSANIAH NIVERSITY COURSES

Soft skills are personal attributes that enhance an individual‟s interactions, job performance and career prospects. Unlike hard skills, which tend to be specific to a certain type of task or activity, soft skills are broadly applicable. The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) introduced seven soft-skills that are to be inculcated to students of Higher Education Institutions, namely: o Communication Skills o Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills o Teamwork Skills o Moral and Professional Ethics o Leadership Skills o Lifelong Learning and Information Management o Entrepreneurial Skills In the MBBS programme, these seven soft skills (with the exception of entrepreneurial skills) are covered in Phases I, II, IIIA and IIIB.

The assessment and examination schedule has been designed to test the wide range of knowledge and skills necessary for the practice of Diagnostic Imaging. Students, to be reflective practitioners, will be required to communicate their views orally and in written form, analyse, implement and evaluate their practice, and extend the research base of the profession in which they work. 3.2 Aims 1. To determine the students' competence and ability in effective imaging practice, and thus eligibility for the award of a Degree. 2. To measure the students performance against the requirements of the course. 3. To enable the student to improve his\her learning process by providing feedback on deficient areas of knowledge and skills and implementing remedial action as and when required. 3.3 Methods of Assessment 1. Clinical Assessment / Lab Assessment 2. Workbook (Case Study – Written & Presentation) 3. Record of Clinical Practice (1,000 examinations including relevant practices) 4. Progress Report of Clinical Practice 5. OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) 3.4 Clinical Assessment in Stages During the duration of the course, eight clinical assessments will be conducted according to the stages that have been determined (refer to following timetable).
