taking increasing responsibilities regarding their own learning This program is designed for ambitious students who are willing to be actively engaged in their education process taking increasing responsibilities regarding their own learning Prerequisites of acceptance into the program

The EMP aims to prepare a medical graduate who is… Motivated life long learner Equipped with adequate integrated knowledge, professional and generic skills Acquainted with the modern health care facilities and problems Acquired the bases of professional attitude Ready to engage as an active member of the health care provider team The EMP aims o prepare a medical graduate; Motivated life long learner Equipped with the adequate integrated knowledge, professional and generic skills Acquainted with the modern health care facilities and problems Acquired the bases of professional attitude Ready to engage as an active member of the health care provider team

Educational concepts underpinning the program Help students to form their own mental network Active engagement of students in their own learning Encouraging group activities Early clinical exposure Learning by Doing Active engagement of students in their own learning (given increasing learning responsibilities with proper follow up and monitoring) Help students to form their own mental network by continuously connecting related information Encouraging group activities (explore the power of the group), while respecting individuality and personal creativity Early clinical exposure Learning by Doing

We Have A Strategy To Develop A Motivated, Life Long Learner? Engage him/her in the educational session Text books use mentoring & guidance Provide a variety of learning activities for students with different learning styles Monitoring students’ progress 1. Engage him/her in the educational session by: Providing pre-activity readings In-session engagement (structured lecture, students’ interaction) Post session assignment & follow-up 2. Text books use mentoring & guidance 3. Monitor students’ progress Follow-up small group interactive sessions Team based learning sessions Formative assessment Continuous assessment 4. Provide a variety of learning activities for students with different learning styles

Contact hours will be used to Explain global concepts and important relations, Give examples to apply knowledge gained Engage students actively within the learning activity Stimulate students to explore more knowledge on their own (Directed self learning) Assessing that students are engaged in the educational activities assigned Correct students misconception NO more poon-feeding..the instructor assumes the role of a facilitator Facilitators are expected NOT to waste contact hours providing information that can be gained easily by students if they were instructed to do so

Our Instructors are trained to… Be open minded Mentor and guide Accept new ideas Generate new ideas Cooperate with each others Be an integral part of the whole picture They are trained to facilitate this inquiry based learning atmosphere

Its is hoped that… The Extended Modular Program would lead the advancement of medical education, not only in Ain Shams Faculty of Medicine but also in the whole region through a holistic vision of the medical graduate attributes suitable to face the medical practice challenges of the present and future. And as stated in our vision for the future
