PREFACE

There are four major strands involved in the first semester second year of the Medical Program which are the Biomedical (BM), Medicine and Society (MS), Clinical Science (CS) and Personal and Professional Development (PPD) strands. There are four modules in the BM strand and each module is covered in four weeks. Activities of the MS, CS and PPD strands will be incorporated throughout the semester. Credit unit of each module in semester 2 is shown below. The methodology of teaching is similar as in Year 1. Other than the concept lectures, students will learn independently with self learning packages, problem-based learning (PBL), computer-aided learning and practical.

Assessment consists of Continuous Assessment (CA) and End of Semester Examinations (ESE). Types of CA vary depending on the module. For the Biomedical Strand, CA is based on the end of module examination and the PBL sessions. ESE comprises of theory and practical papers. The types of questions in the theory papers are:

One Best Answer (OBA)

Extended Matching Items (EMI)

Modified Essay Questions (MEQ) There will be one practical paper that is the objective structured practical examination (OSPE) or objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) which includes all modules except Medicine & Society. Overall methods of assessment in Semester 3 are outlined below:
