Comments of the Medical Council visit 2003
• …. To continue to monitor, review and evaluate the progress in curriculum reform
• … the degree of integration of pre-clinical teaching in the new curriculum, which seems to be not as far reaching as in other medical schools, eg PHUS, biochemistry, pathology….
• ..careful monitoring and review of SSM….. The Team urges the Faculty to be discriminating in assessing how objectives are addressed in each topic………
