1- The students should pay more attention to language course since the
majority of them are in different and less enthusiastic in following or
attending the lectures .
2- Mid-Term Exam in English language should be reconsidered. It is one of
the ways leading the students to take language course more seriously.
3- Two hours per week instead of one hour would be better so that the
students may have more time for practicing English and deriving more
benefit.
4-English department in the faculty of Arts should continue introducing new
courses that go along with the technical developments in the field of medicine.
5- The increasing number of students may stand in the way of achieving aims
of language course. Dividing the students into groups is proposed if the
faculty of Medicine finds it possible.

CLINICAL OR FIELD PRACTICE
After learning a new topic or skill during classroom teaching, students
need opportunities to apply their new knowledge or practice new skills in a
simulated or safe environment whenever possible. Simulated environments
are places where students can work together in small groups, observe or
participate in role plays, perform clinical simulations, watch videos, practice
skills with anatomic models, or, if available, work on computers. Once
students have practiced new skills in a simulated environment, they can then
practice their skills in a supervised clinical or field practice site. Clinical
practice sites may include health centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and
other health care sites.

STUDENT EVALUATION
The main purpose of student evaluation or assessment is to improve
student learning. This is more likely to happen if assessment is closely
integrated with teaching as described in the departmental course syllabus.
Evaluation of students’ knowledge and skills helps teachers decide if students
should progress to the next stage of study, motivates students by providing
feedback on their progress, determines if the course is meeting its objectives,
ensures that important subjects are given priority within the course, and offers
evidence to national authorities that standards are being met.
Evaluation methods should be objective; this means that the personal
opinion of the faculty member evaluating the student has no effect on the
student’s score. The student should be evaluated during the course (formative
Implementation of Internal Quality Assurance System

Cours Specifications
assessment) as well as at the end of the course (summative assessment).
Common objective knowledge assessment methods include:
1. Drills, quizzes, and practice tests
2. Written exercises
3. Case studies, clinical scenarios, and patient management problems
4. Project reports
5. Objective written examinations
6. Structured practical examinations
7. Clinical rounds
Common skill assessment methods include:
1. Direct observation with checklists
2. Structured feedback reports
3. Logbooks (casebooks), learning journals, and care plans
4. Structured practical examinations
MONITORING TEACHING
Monitoring is a continual, cyclical process of teaching, collecting
information about teaching, and reviewing the information to identify needed
changes. For monitoring to be effective, there should be an open
organizational culture that encourages a commitment to students’ learning,
self-awareness, constructive feedback, reflection, and professional
development. In addition, monitoring requires a clear understanding of the
course goals and objectives, and the responsibilities of different teachers and
administrators. It also requires resources both to conduct monitoring activities
and to implement necessary changes in teaching.
The most common methods for collecting information about teaching
are self-assessment, feedback from students, peer review, and review of
examination results. These methods often use tools such as questionnaires,
guidelines for interviews, and observation checklists. A number of different
methods can be applied to help identify strengths and areas for improvement
to guide planning for future courses.
COURSE EVALUATION:
This curriculum is a dynamic document and will be regularly revised
and updated. Monitoring information submitted by departments (e.g., results
of student evaluations, feedback from faculty members) coupled with
developments in research and technology, changing needs of the country, and
the evolving professional environment, will provide the information needed to
update it periodically to meet the needs of the faculties, departments, and
students.

CLINICAL OR FIELD PRACTICE
After learning a new topic or skill during classroom teaching, students
need opportunities to apply their new knowledge or practice new skills in a
simulated or safe environment whenever possible. Simulated environments
are places where students can work together in small groups, observe or
participate in role plays, perform clinical simulations, watch videos, practice
skills with anatomic models, or, if available, work on computers. Once
students have practiced new skills in a simulated environment, they can then
practice their skills in a supervised clinical or field practice site. Clinical
practice sites may include health centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and
other health care sites. Field practice sites might include nurseries, child care
centers, faculties, workplaces, homes, or other settings within the community.

to undertaking a confident and competent clinical history and examination of
patients and the students practice these skills on patients under supervision for
3 hours daily, 5-6 days weekly.
4) Problem-based learning (PBL):
Students work in small groups to study written descriptions of clinical
situations. By using a specific set of study skills, they use those scenarios to
guide them towards relevant theoretical and practical learning.
PBL tutorials are shared learning in small groups with other students aiming at
developing skills in communication, team work and leadership.
5) Tutorials:
For giving introduction, indications, and interpretation of clinical laboratory
tests, radiography, and electrocardiography. Groups will work on ECGs,
