Study Guide of the Second year

Introduction

The integrated modular system is introduced for the first time at Faculty
of Medicine Cairo University in (2018/2019) to assure the acquisition of
6 key competencies
Competency (1): The graduate as a health care provider
Competency (2): The graduate as a health promoter
Competency (3): The graduate as a professional
Competency (4): The graduate as a scholar and scientist
Competency (5): The graduate as a member of the health team and a part of the health care system
Competency (6): The graduate as a lifelong learner and researcher

The program is composed of vertical and horizontal modules each has its
own intended learning outcomes (ILOs) to cover finally together all
aspects of the key competencies a graduate is expected to acquire.

What What is meant by block and module?by block and module?

- Each year is formed of two semesters

- Each semester consists of modules where topics are offered by many departments in an integrated approach in
a given duration to achieve certain ILOs.

- Each module has a certain code

- At the end of each module, students attend a “multiple choice questions (MCQs)” exam which represents 30%
of the marks allocated to the module.

- At the end of the year, students attend final exams for all studied modules in form of OSPE (objective
structured practical exam) which represents 30% of the marks allocated to each module and final written
exams (short essay, MCQs, cases, extended matching questions) which represents 40% of the marks allocated
to each module.
What is meant by vertical modules?

Beside the horizontal modules some vertical modules are delivered


throughout the 5 years in the form of 1 or 2 hours each week. The following modules are delivered:

1- Behavioral & Cognitive Sciences (PSY-213)


It weighs 2 credit point (CR) and is delivered in 30 contact hours and 20
non-contact hours.
2- Medical professionalism & Medical Ethics 7 Law (MPE-227)
It weighs 1.5 credit point (CR) and is delivered in 22 contact hours and 15
non-contact hours.
3- Early Patient Encounter 2 (EPE -230)
It weighs 2 credit point (CR) and is delivered in 30 contact hours and 20
non-contact hours.
4- Medical Research & EBM-1 (RES-234)
It weighs 2 credit point (CR) and is delivered in 30 contact hours and 20
non-contact hours.
5- Student selected component course (SSC-1)
It weighs 3 credit points and the student must pass them, for graduation, but not included in cumulative.
6- Computer (CMP 235)

Rules of advancing to higher academic level

− Students passing any module earn full credits points.


− Students cannot be promoted from 1st to 2nd grade if they have more than 20 unfulfilled credit points.
− Students cannot be promoted from grade II to grade III unless they fulfilled the whole credit points of all
previous grades i.e. grade I & II.
