The Faculty of Medicine is a division or department within a university that focuses on education and research related to medicine and healthcare. It typically includes various schools or departments specializing in different aspects of medical education and practice.
The Faculty of Medicine is one of the founding faculties of UoC. The MBBS programme is a 5-year, fully accredited programme recognised by the Malaysian Medical Council, culminating in the award of the Bachelor of Medicine & Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree. The programme started with 71 registered medical students in December 2005 and has since successfully produced eight batches of medical graduates who are currently serving all over Malaysia.
In line with the University motto of “Nurturing the Passion to Care”, the teaching and learning activities embrace and integrate the three domains of learning; cognitive, affective and psychomotor. The integration of these essential domains in the curriculum – along with Godliness – in the life of students helps shape a balanced education system in producing healthcare professionals who are intellectually, emotionally and spiritually balanced. This is achieved through the revolutionised teaching and learning activities of student-centred outcome-based education. Technology is incorporated to enhance participative learning environments that actively engage the current Y and Z generation in the acquisition of new knowledge.
The Faculty of Medicine also offers postgraduate programmes to encourage lifelong learning opportunities. Both Masters in Medical Sciences (MMedSc) (By Research) and PhD in Medical Sciences (PhDMedSc) (By Research) programmes are offered in collaboration with the Centre for Graduate Studies. Masters in Public Health, Masters in Healthcare Management, and short courses in healthcare-related subjects will also be offered In the near future, in collaboration with other reputable tertiary institutions.
