INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS A STUDY GUIDE?
It is an aid to:
Inform students how student learning program of the semester-wise module has been
organized
Help students organize and manage their studies throughout the module
Guide students on assessment methods, rules and regulations
THE STUDY GUIDE:
Communicates information on organization and management of the module.
This will help the student to contact the right person in case of any difficulty.
Defines the objectives which are expected to be achieved at the end of the module.
Identifies the learning strategies such as lectures, small group teachings, clinical skills,
demonstration, tutorial and case based learning that will be implemented to achieve the
module objectives.
Provides a list of learning resources such as books, computer assisted learning programs,
web- links, journals, for students to consult in order to maximize their learning.
Highlights information on the contribution of continuous and semester examinations on the
student’s overall performance.
Includes information on the assessment methods that will be held to determine every student’s
achievement of objectives.
Focuses on information pertaining to examination policy, rules and regulations.
CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK
Students will experience integrated curriculum of 1st and 2nd semesters.
INTEGRATED CURRICULUM comprises of system-based modules such as foundation and blood which
links basic science knowledge to clinical problems. Integrated teaching means that subjects are
presented as a meaningful whole. Students will be able to have better understanding of basic
sciences when they repeatedly learn in relation to clinical examples.
Case-based discussions, computer-based assignments, early exposure to clinics, wards, and skills
acquisition in skills lab and physiotherapy department are characteristics of integrated teaching program.

LEARNING METHODOLOGIES
The following teaching / learning methods are used to promote better understanding:
Interactive Lectures
Hospital / Clinic visits
Small Group Discussion
Case- Based Learning
Practicals
Skills session
E-Learning Self-Directed Study
INTERACTIVE LECTURES
In large group, the lecturer introduces a topic or common clinical conditions and explains the underlying
phenomena through questions, pictures, videos of patients’ interviews, exercises, etc. Students are
actively involved in the learning process.
HOSPITAL VISITS: In small groups, students observe patients with signs and symptoms in hospital or
clinical settings. This helps students to relate knowledge of basic and clinical sciences of the relevant
module.
1ST YEAR MBBS, SEMESTER 1 FOUNDATION MODULE LIAQUAT NATIONAL MEDICAL COLLEGE
2016 Page | 6
SMALL GROUP DISCUSSION (SGD): This format helps students to clarify concepts acquire skills or
attitudes. Sessions are structured with the help of specific exercises such as patient case, interviews or
discussion topics. Students exchange opinions and apply knowledge gained from lectures, tutorials and
self study. The facilitator role is to ask probing questions, summarize, or rephrase to help clarify
concepts.
CASE- BASED LEARNING: A small group discussion format where learning is focused around a series of
questions based on a clinical scenario. Students’ discuss and answer the questions applying relevant
knowledge gained in clinical and basic health sciences during the module.
PRACTICAL: Basic science practicals related to anatomy, biochemistry, pathology, pharmacology and
physiology are scheduled for student learning.
SKILLS SESSION: Skills relevant to respective module are observed and practiced where applicable in
skills laboratory or Department of Physiotherapy.
SELF DIRECTED STUDY: Students’ assume responsibilities of their own learning through individual study,
sharing and discussing with peers, seeking information from Learning Resource Center, teachers and
resource persons within and outside the college. Students can utilize the time within the college
scheduled hours of self-study.
E-LEARNING: E-Learning is a strategy by which learning occurs through the utilization of electronic
media, typically the Internet. The basic aspects of medical professionalism and ethics will be addressed
through an e-learning course.

MODULE 1 : FOUNDATION
INTRODUCTION
This module has been designed to introduce you to the basics of health sciences. The course covers the
molecular level of cell biology including genetics and its role in embryology, microbiology and pathology. In
community medicine, health issues and policies on disease control at the national level will be discussed.
You will also experience clinical skills such as learning to communicate effectively so that you can relate to
patients and their loved ones with compassion and understanding in coming years. Through working within
teams, your co-operative and approachable working style will be enhanced. Through group and individual
work, you will develop problem solving skills to apply your medical knowledge to practical situations. This,
supplemented by lectures, and practical classes, is a significant component of the course.
This study guide has been developed to help guide you and keep you focused on the objectives for this
module.
Welcome to the field of medicine and hope that the journey ahead will be exciting and fulfilling for you all.

ASSESSMENT METHODS:
Theory (knowledge): Best Choice Questions (BCQs) also known as MCQs (Multiple Choice Questions)
and EMQs (Extending Matching Questions) are used to asses objectives covered in each module.
BCQs:
A BCQ has a statement or clinical scenario followed by four options (likely answers).
After reading the statement/scenario student select ONE, the most appropriate answer/response
from the given list of options.
Correct answer carries one mark, and incorrect ‘zero mark’. There is NO negative marking.
Students mark their responses on specified computer-based sheet designed for LNMC. o Sample BCQs:
A 25 year old patient presented with the complain of productive cough, breathlessness and wheezing.
He has been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The most common risk factor for the disease is:
a) Air pollution
b) Coal mining
c) Infection
d) Tobacco smoke
EMQs:
An EMQ has:
o An option list of 5-15 nerve supply, functions, diagnosis, investigations etc
o A Lead In –Statement/Question
o Two to four Stems or Clinical Scenarios
For each stem or clinical scenario, the student should choose the most appropriate option from
the option list.
A single option can be used once, more than once or not at all.
Correct answer carries one mark and incorrect ‘zero mark’. There is NO negative marking.
Student mark their responses on a specified computer-based sheet for EMQs.
