FACULTY OF MEDICINEBETWEEN THE PAST AND THE PRESENT

Since more than 23 centuries Ptolmey constructed Alexandria medicalschool and provided it with best scientists of Helipolis temple and school

and also Memphis medical library. So, it was a pride for graduates of

Alexandria school that they are belonging to it.

physician Herophilus, while the other schools were practicing anatomy on

pigs and monkeys.

The roman physician Celeus has admitted by the role of school of

Alexandria in anatomy and the excellence of scientists like Herophilus and

Arastratus that lead to evolution of surgical science in Alexandria and

transfer it to Rome

The roman Medicine took Medical specialty from the old Egyptian

Medicine; even Herodote said medicine is divided between them that each

physician deals with one disease only.

The medical school of Alexandria had the leadership in the medical

field either in diagnosis of diseases or its treatment or in knowing its causes

and symptoms. This made the school of Alexandria to be mentioned in the

old poetry as Homer said men in Egypt are more skilled in medicine than

any other human race, and it had physician that are better than the others

with their knowledge

Herodote also said that studying of any foreign physician in Egypt is

considered as a passport for his success.

Chapter (3)

The curriculum is formed of two stages, when they are accomplished

successfully; the student gets the grade of the Bachelor of Medicine and

Surgery (MBBCh).

The first Phase Pre-clerkship Phase:

This phase aims for making the student able to study the medical

sciences in the integrated system, and it consists of 6 educational semesters

through the first 3 years.

The first semester is a Preliminary semester for preparing the students

for high education in general and medical education especially. The student

gets a concentrated English course and another course to make him capable

of getting international Computer Driving license (ICDL). Moreover, the

student learns how to get the information through the E-libraries and the

available resources of the internet. He also gets courses about medical ethics

and the rules governing his faculty and his rights and duties. Then the

student starts to study the basics medical sciences in the form of educational

units which mix between the basic medical sciences that explain the

structure, function, chemistry and genes of the body and its cells in a

practical and clinical context.

Then through the next 5 semesters the student begins to study the

medical courses in the form of integrated systems. This phase represents the

base on which the second phase (the stage of dealing with patients) will

depend on. In this stage, students get to learn the basics of the medical



15/46

sciences in a deeper and more precise way. In addition, this phase will

include a course for Professional Skills Development, in which the student

starts by learning the communication skills with patients, followed by skills

of clinical examination and first aid, etc. This phase also includes the basics

of the behavioral sciences and the human rights. This course runs though the

5 semesters from the second till the sixth.

At this phase, the student also studies an introduction about the

science of epidemiology, medical statistics, and the bases of medical

research. He is also introduced to the nature of the bed work either in

hospitals or in primary medical care centers. In addition, he gets to learn the

basics of fighting the infections and also the basics of the quality control in

medical care.

The second Phase Clerkship Phase:

This phase lasts for 6 semesters and it aims for preparing the students

for professional practicing, in which they are trained through direct

interaction with patients in the general and specialized clinical departments.

It ends with a period of condensed clinical practice for 20 weeks where the

students pass again on the different clinical departments (Pre Internship

Rotation). This period is followed by anexit exam which includes all basic

clinical skills determined for the students. The students should pass this

exam in order to get the bachelor degree of medicine and surgery, but its

marks are not included in the total score of the student.



16/46

Chapter (4)

Basic Rules

Clause (5):The Alexandria Faculty of Medicine gives the bachelor of

medicine and surgery under the request of the Council of the Faculty of

Medicine.

17/46

Clause (9): General conditions for registration

1- The applicant must have a certificate of the completion of the

secondary school from the Arab Republic of Egypt or an equivalent

degree from a scientific institution recognized by the University andof the Supreme Council of Universities.

Payment of tuition fees must be on time determined by the faculty.

Clause (10): Credit point system ECTS

ECTS is the system that is approved by the European Organization for

Higher Education and is applied in weighing the courses and in the

assessment of students.

It is a systematic way to describe the curriculum by identifying credit

points for parts of the educational programs, based on the effort of the

students represented by the number of study hours required to achieve the

learning objectives (ILOS).

This system is based on the fact that a student ,during the school year,

can make from 1500 1800 hours, from which every 25-30 hours are

translated into a single credit point added to the tally , so the student can

collect about 50-60 points through the year or the single academic level as a

maximum .

These points reflect the amount of the required effort per every single

unit of the curriculum. It includes the academic and training efforts such as

attending lectures and practical lessons and self learning activities,

workshops, and other scientific activities, either in the library, the hospital,

or the classrooms, or home. Therefore the system focuses on the overall

burden of students and is not restricted on the contact hours with teachers.



18/46

Credit Points are distributed on all curricular units, either obligatory or

electives. The credit points are awarded only when the student completes his

study of all courses and pass all examinations successfully.

Total points adopted for the program: 60 credit points per year x 6

levels = 360 points distributed over the various courses.

CLAUSE (11) : learning Activities

The learning activities consist of several-pronged strategy to

achieve the intended learning outcomes and academic

standards in conformity with the national academic reference

standards.

1. Theoretical information : 40%-60% of study time

1- Developed lectures

2- Self-learning :

a. E-learning (10%) in the first year and rises gradually to replace

lectures

b. Tutorial Group discussion

c. Assignments and Presentations

d. Integrated Learning Activity (ILA)

e. Team Based Learning (TBL)

2. Practical , Clinical , and Professional skills : 60%-40%

1- Practical Lessons

2- Clinical and Professional skills



19/46

The student starts practicing on these skills from the first year in a long

course that extends throughout the years of education. The practicing

takes place in a center of developing clinical skills for the first three

years , then ( from the fourth till the sixth year ) in takes place in the

different basic clinical departments including the University hospitals ,outpatient clinics , emergency departments , hospitals of the Ministry of

Health , Health Insurance and Family Medicine Centers.

Note :

- A ratio of 60% lectures, 40% practical and clinical or 40% lectures,

60% practical and clinical are determined according to the requirement

of the components of the educational unit , taking into account that the

ratio of self-education , practical education , and clinical education risesas the student progress through their study years .

- 60% - 75% of study time is specified for practical and

clinical practice in case of special courses, like computing

skills, information proficiency and professional development.

How to apply the means of self-learning?1. E-Learning : A certain percentage ( starts with about 10 % ) is

allocated from the lectures into the electronic form ( text , power point

presentation) .

A link on the internet is determined where the student can look up for

medical information in textbooks or multimedia.

2. Tutorial Classes : Students are divided into small groups ( 50

students) and they discuss in the educational meeting an identifiedsubject through questions & answers and seminars , the student should

have the basic role in leading the discussion .



20/46

3. Integrated Learning Activity(ILA) : Students are divided into small

groups who attend a meeting that lasts for an hour twice a week with

a tutor who is responsible for this activity in the educational unit .

4. Team Based Learning :

- This activity can be applied on a group of students up to 50-100

students, in the presence of an instructor. A part of the educational

unit is determined for this activity and the students are directed to

reading information about this part in determined resources

(references, internet links, and handouts) before the meeting.

- The cession starts with giving the students an objective exam (MCQ, T&F , EMQ )whichcovers the intended learning outcomesin this

section .The exam is answered by the students individually and the

answer sheets are collected to be corrected either electronically

immediately or later on by the students themselves. Then the

students are divided into small groups and answer the questions of

the exams again together. The instructor asks each team to give its

answer for every question and then the instructor gives the correct

answer. Each team is asked to give the reasons for its answer andright and wrong answers are discussed between groups with the help

of the instructor.

- Students might be asked for criticizing the questions or determine

questions that were not clear and a better suggestion for the form of

questions.

Summary of total marks of subjects and stages

The system for grading of the students:Two Systems are used to rank the students according to total score they

obtain:I-European system ECTS:

The students are divided into two main groups: successful and failure,

and then divide each group as follows:

1) Successful students are ranked descendingly according to the total

and then divided into five grades:

A: Students with the highest 10% of the totals

B: students who constitute the following 25 %.

C: students who constitute the following 35 % after the previous one.D: students who constitute the following 25%

E: the last 10% of the successful students.

2) Failed students:

F: The highest 50% of the total failure.

FX: The following 50%

The benefit of this system is that it allows students to transfer to

universities, which follows a system of ECTS or accepted forpostgraduate studies in the same universities.

II- The current system in the Egyptian faculties:

Excellent: More than 85%

Very good: from 75 to less than 85%

Good: from 65 - to less than 75%

Fair: 60 to less than 65%

The European system ECTS can be changed into the current system

using a statistical method, depending on the highest score which the first

student gets in the same year.
