The University of Health Sciences (UHS) is set to reform the MBBS syllabus for third and fourth-year students, introducing a more modular and practical framework for medical education.
In a recent meeting led by UHS Vice Chancellor Professor Ahsan Waheed Rathore, prominent medical education experts discussed the implementation of these changes.
The university had already adopted a modular system for the first and second years of the MBBS program and is now extending this approach to the later years.
Professor Rathore emphasized that the transition to a modular syllabus will provide students with more integrated learning experiences.
One significant change will be the increase in clinical training hours starting from the third year, with students expected to have a minimum of 12 to 14 hours of clinical exposure each week.
