This course is designed to assist the student in developing fundamental communication skills
and professional behavior upon which they will build their fliture medical practice. This course
highlights the communicative methodology and professional behavior as practiced by senior
physicians, residents, intems, and medical students during their daily interaction with patients,
health care teams, nurses, and supervising consultants.
By the end of this course, sfudents are expected to understand the importance of communication
skills for physicians and describe the basic principles of both verbal and non-verbal
communication skills. We expect our students to demonstrate the ability to conduct patient-
centered interviews by using basic communication skills effectively in a simulated setting. This
course is the steppingstone, upon which students will build their skills to use in their future
careers.

The basic objective of this block is to help students comprehend the structure and function of
the male and female reproductive systems and how the female reproductive system adapts for
pregnancy and childbirth. This includes the structural organization of the male reproductive
system, both at the gross and microscopic level, to deliver spermatozoa and of the female
reproductive system for the maturation of ova, fertilization, and development of the embryo and
fetus. This block will enable students to appreciate the structure and function of the breast,
placenta, and pelvis and the structural organization of the various endocrine glands in different
parts of the body, control, and effects of hormones on the reproductive system. Students are
expected to be able to discuss the basic aspects of the development of the male and female
reproductive organs, and the developmental basis of the major malformations seen in the clinics.
By the end of this course students will be able to describe the embryonic development, fetal
maturation, and perinatal changes of the reproductive system, structure and function of the male
and female reproductive organs, including the breast. They should be able to correlate the
relationship of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis to the sex steroids and gestational
hormones.

The basic objective of this block is to help students comprehend how the hypothalamus
controls the body functions through its effects on endocrine hormones secreted from various
glands of the body. The ultimate goal of the block is to foster enough understanding of the
normal structure and function of endocrine systems among students so that they can
understand the pathological processes and management of different endocrine disorders in the
next phase of the curriculum.
By the end of this course, the students should know the hypothalamic-pituitary axis and its
function in controlling the endocrine and reproductive systems. They should also be familiar
with the anatomy, embryology, and physiology (including mechanisms of control,
biosynthesis, secretion, transport, effects on organs/cells, and degradation ofvarious
hormones) of the major endocrine organs and their systems.

This is an introductory course for second-year medical sfudents on the basic principles of
biostatistics and epidemiology. It includes topics such as descriptive, graphical, and numerical
measures, probability concepts, hypothesis testing and confidence interval estimation, one-
and two-sample /-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation analysis, and sampling
techniques. In addition, basic epidemiologic principles, including diagnostic tests, relative risk
and odds ratio are covered.
At the end of the course students should be able to use and apply the basic principles of
biostatistics and epidemiology. Students should be able to interpret data, apply the principles
of probability theory, construct hypothesis and test it. They should have a good understanding
ofexcel and other statistical software packages to conduct basic data analysis and prepare for
the presentation of results.

Professional Skills I Course (PRO-234) aims to enable the medical students in the 2nd year of
the medical curriculum to gain basic skills to take a medical history, perform a general physical
examination, and car1, out basic life support. This course setves as the foundation of their
professional clinical skills, to which subsequent professional skills courses will be added in the
continuum over the coming semesters. The course runs in a student-centered and task-oriented
fashion. Students are provided adequate practice throughout the course. Student feedback is
encouraged (on E-learning Interface or otherwise) at the end of the course for reflection and
improvements in the future.
At the end of the course, students should be able to Interrogate common presenting complaints,
record medical history, demonstrate a general physical examination, perform emergency
management skills like BLS, and perform peripheral venipuncture on a mannequin.

In this block, students will leam the development and gross and microscopic anatomy of the
head, neck, and special senses. Besides, the students will gain insights into the clinical approach
to common otolaryngological and ophthalmic presentations. They will learn etiopathogenesis
of common head and neck conditions and principles of diagnosis and management strategies.
To learn the development, gross and microscopic anatomy, and physiology of the head, neck,
and special senses. Also, for a meaningful clinical perspective of structure and function, they
will relate and apply this knowledge to the relevant pathophysiological and clinical concepts of
otolaryngology and ophthalmology diseases.
