THE MEDICAL COLLEGE The Medical College offers a five-year undergraduate programme leading to the degree of Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). The programme is designed to equip students with appropriate knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and behaviour necessary to understand and influence factors that affect the health of individuals and communities. AKU attaches great emphasis to the professional, personal and intellectual development of students, so that its medical graduates become contributory members and leaders of society. As leaders in the area of medical and health education, the University s MBBS programme of study maintains high quality and flexibility that allows students to develop more broadly and function effectively. The College curriculum is based on the principles of adult learning and incorporates current evidence-based medical education concepts. In addition, the MBBS curriculum uses multiple modes of learning, with emphasis on problem-based learning (PBL) and early clinical contact, with a gradual shift in focus to patient-based learning using best evidence practice in later years. Electives in a wide variety of subjects each year will increase opportunities for broader intellectual development. Students will have opportunities to work in clinical teams at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH), as well as in the national and community-oriented health services operating in urban and rural populations. The curricular objectives of the Medical College include clinical competence in community settings and hospitals, as well as assessment of health and prevention of disease in communities through primary health care programmes monitored by AKU in a number of urban squatter settlements. Agreements with leading academic institutions, such as Harvard University in the United States, McGill and McMaster universities in Canada and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, have contributed to faculty and curriculum development. Recent affiliations include collaborations with the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, University of Waterloo, University of Calgary, University of British Columbia in Canada and University of Alabama in the United States. These partnerships enable advanced training and research, specifically in areas where such opportunities are not available in Pakistan. 3
