Teaching Curriculum

Teaching Pathology for the 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th years medicine follows a well-structured and integrated systemic curriculum, based on the national center for academic accreditation and evaluation. This curriculum is reviewed annually by the quality assurance unit to ensure its obligation to the NCAAA and OCED criteria and rules. The curriculum is delivered in two-phases, for three consecutive years, given that the 4^th year medicine only involves Forensic medicine and toxicology. The following briefly describes the curriculum:
