Why is EMP different?

EMP is an integrated program. It presents information and related skills in its logical sequence and timing. This arrangement enables students to build relations and connects facts in different disciplines. Arranging the mind in such a way leads to better retention and deeper understanding, ready to use this knowledge to solve medical problems.

Integration prevents repetition of knowledge that is common in different disciplines, saving valuable time to other educational activities (Please refer to the curricular map)

One of the fundamental characteristics of this program is early –yet properly timed –integrated exposure to clinical skills and professional development (Please refer to Professional Development)

The program uses specially designed learning activities to fulfill its aims such as structured interactive lectures, small group follow-up sessions, integrated problem oriented sessions, team-based learning sessions and integrated multidisciplinary sessions.

The program uses e-learning as an integral component of the learning activities.

The program extends beyond traditional medical curricula to include additional core courses addressing personal development in a longitudinal thread that extends along the program. These subjects (for example: Learning skills, time management, mind mapping, etc…) are introduced in proper timing. (Please refer to “Personal Development Thread“)

Outstanding students have an opportunity to register an additional “Optional Summer Course” addressing “Health Care Management”, “Health Care Quality Assurance” or “Health Professionals’ Education.

The program follows students learning with formative assessments. Summative assessment includes continuous and final exams. All exams are objective, based on specification tables.
