The duration of study to obtain a bachelor’s degree in the program is 5 years of study (5 levels of study achieved) plus one year of compulsory “excellence” training (5+1).
The study is divided into two study stages:
- The first stage (the pre-clinical stage) includes the first, second and third levels, during which the human body’s systems are studied as units of study (blocks), in addition to university requirements and other courses taught longitudinally.
- The second stage (clinical stage), which includes the fourth and fifth levels, during which clinical medical sciences courses are studied.
After the student successfully passes the blocks and courses of the two stages, the student is sent for training for the “internship year” (12 months) in hospitals and health centers approved by the College Council. Upon completion, the graduate is awarded a bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery.
