Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (B.M., B.Ch.), is based on students performance in both pre-clinical and clinical programs.

Each student is assigned an academic advisor, who is a faculty member. The advisor meets his/her students periodically, throughout the academic year as deemed necessary, for encouraging, explaining, advising, guiding and warning students, as appropriate, about any problem encountered during their studies at the University.

A student who completes a minimum of 15 credits in any semester with a grade point average of 3.5 or above, is placed on the distinction list. At the end of each semester, a list of these students is issued for requisite honors and awards. A student who completes his/her study with a grade point average of 3.67 or above, is awarded the degree with distinction, provided the course is completed within a maximum of 8 semesters (for B.Med.Sc. degree), and 14 semesters (for B.M.B.Ch. degree). All candidates for Bachelor of Medical Sciences (B.Med.Sc.) degree, must meet the Faculty’s entrance requirements, based on study program and assessments. The degree is awarded on Faculty’s recommendation and examiners reports.

The Pre-Clinical Program provides basic medical science foundation, necessary for future clinical practice, inculcating sound scientific thinking, and encouraging self-learning. The Faculty has a system of continuous evaluation followed by final examinations, and the system of external examiners. The external examiners participate in final examinations and such faculty activities as teaching, seminars or research. They submit reports to the Dean on the standard and conduct of examinations and relevant issues. The Board of Examiners decides final grading of each student, based on their performance.

For clinical degree, a student must successfully complete the B.Med.Sc. program and three years of clinical program to obtain the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery Degree. The third clinical year comprises Medicine, Surgery and related sub-disciplines, involving 12 weeks each of Medicine and Surgery, and 3 weeks each of Primary Care, Dermatology, Ophthalmology and E.N.T., in addition to Forensic Medicine. The final examination is given at the end of the year, with external examiners in Medicine and Surgery.
