Cabrini College of Medicine

Integumentary System 3 Module

Coordinator: Dr. Miguel Remigio T. Maralit

I. Course Description

It is a two-week module in which third year medical learners will learn about common diseases
affecting the Integumentary System in a holistic manner from the perspective of a team of
specialist physicians. Whenever applicable, physicians (pediatric, adult and geriatric
counterparts) from clinical specialties of Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics Surgery, and
Pathology will lead in facilitating learning. In this manner, third year medical learners will
experience and appreciate how working in teams with colleagues and other healthcare
professionals is superior to working alone and provides safer and the best level quality of care
for patients.

Third year medical learners will continue to interact with actual or simulated patients to improve
their communication, data gathering, physical examination and critical thinking skills in coming
up with the correct diagnosis and appropriate treatment plans. In addition to training in
simulation laboratories, third year medical learners can expect to observe, participate and assist
in actual surgical, clinic or bedside procedures. Pertinent clinical cases will also be discussed to
introduce other concerns in the practice of medicine like patient safety, professionalism and
research.

VII. Grading, Assessment and Remediation

After finishing a module, a student gets a single module grade. This grade is derived from
50% Class Standing plus 50% Module Exam. Class standing points are accumulated from
quizzes, lab works, and reports done during the course of the module. The module exam is
given usually at the very last day of the module. A five to ten-item quiz will be given after
every topic.

The module grade is computed as follows:

Class Standing(50%) = Quizzes(30%) + Lab Work/ Reports/ Other tasks (20%) Module
Grade = Class Standing(50%) + Module Exam(50%)

The minimum passing module grade is 75%. A module grade of 74.45% will be rounded off
to 75% and therefore is considered a passing mark. A module grade of 74.44% is a failing
mark.

Within a week after the end of a module, each student will receive a written document to
formally inform them of their module grade. During this period, students may discuss any
concern they have regarding their grade with the module coordinator or his representative.
The module coordinator must submit all final grades to the Dean within two weeks after the
module ends.

If a student gets a module grade of 70% to 74.44%, he or she is eligible to take a remedial
examination. The remedial examination will be held on a Saturday, two weeks after the
module ends.
 A student who gets a module grade of 69.99% or lower will not be allowed to take the
remedial examination.

The module grade reflects the overall competence of a student in the specific
organsystem/module. Taken by itself, it can be used as a formative form of assessment to
indicate aptitude and perhaps a future clinical career as a specialist/researcher in the
specific organsystem. More importantly, the module grade forms part of the summative
assessment in computing for the final subject grade that will be reflected in the students’
official transcript of records.
