FULL CURRICULUM

6-year MD (pdf)

New system of education, so-called outcome based, has been implemented at PUM.

Learning outcomes are statements of what each student is expected to know, understand and / or be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning.

 

The outcomes are based on the following essential elements of a competent and reflective practitioner:

1. what the student knows (demonstrating evidence of knowledge, assessing comprehension, assessing application, assessing analysis and synthesis)

2. what the student is able to do (practical skills)

3. the student as a professional (competences - a dynamic combination of attributes, abilities and attitudes)
