The purpose of the CCC is to oversee and govern all educational activities that take place at the clinical phase of the MD program. This includes reviewing and updating the clinical phase curriculum, revising the structure and the outcome of both formative and summative assessment methods, and compliance of both students and academic staff to the program learning objectives (PLOs) through variable educational activities.

Responsibilities

  • Oversee the development and revision of learning objectives regarding clinical courses. This includes the selection and sequencing of educational content for the MD program (clinical phase); the program length; curriculum structure including its components, courses, and themes.
  • Oversee the delivery of the curriculum at all sites (NNUH and ANU affiliated hospital), instructional methods, the appointment of course coordinators.
  • Monitor medical students' progress through the clinical phase by regularly revising the formative assessment methods and giving direct feedback to the medical students through the instructors, course coordinators, and head of departments.
  • Evaluate the performance of medical students in the summative assessment methods such as written and OSCE exams. Ensure that the exam is linked to the (Intended learning outcomes) ILOs and PLOs in concordance with the FMHS mission and vision.
  • Ensure that students have free access to academic supervisors, course coordinators, research and teaching assistants (RTAs) in order to get direct assistance and help as required. Also, course coordinators and RTAs monitor the level of satisfaction.
  • Monitor and oversee the availability of multiple educational resources and facilities at NNUH and ANU-affiliated hospitals. For example, studying rooms, online access, and libraries should be accessible to medical students at the clinical phase.
  • Ensure that teachers and medical students are both oriented and aware of the ILOs, course policy and outlines, and different assessment methods. An introductory session and feedback session should be offered by course coordinators to both clinical staff and medical students to guarantee compliance with the mission and vision of the FMHS.
