MBBS IN USA
The college of Medicine at the University of South Alabama has embarked on comprehensive project of curriculum renewal for its undergraduate medical education program leading to the M.D.degree.
Since the establishment of the college in 1969, undergraduate medical education at USA has followed a traditional curriculum focused on a lecture intensive process driven by cognitive objectives in the first two years and by a combination of cognitive,attitudinal,and psychomotor objectives inyears 3 and 4.This tiered 2+2 approach placed a heavy emphasis during the first two years of medical school on the assimilation of facts about the structure,function,and
diseases of the human body through basic science courses organized by disciplene,such as physiology,gross anatomy,pharmacology,and pathology.
During the third and fourth years of training,the emphasis transtioned abruptly from the acquisition of basic science knowledge to immersion training in clinical education and patient oriented care.
The new curriculum under development at USA focuses on the concept of education across the continum.It is fueled by the challenge in medical education of how best to move the matriculating medical student along the pathway to becoing a competent physician and life long learner.The job is complex as young physicians must be able to satisfy an ever increasing level of competency in all aspects of their profession.The goal of curriculum renewal at USA is to provide a dynamic plan of learning expectations and awareness in training of what needs to be accomplished toward expertise of becoming a competent physician.Curriculum renewal at USA is paced by a timeline that has already begun with a reframing of the Educational objectives of the college of Medicine around six core comptencies for medical training delineated by the Accreditation council for Graduate Medical Education and American Board of Medical specialties
