Teaching strategies during this course 1. Theoretical (lectures, PBL Case presentations) 2. Skills lab. 3. Bedside teaching.

Teaching Staff 1. Lectures: - Staff from medical, surgical, obstetrical and pediatric departments is going to be involved. - Lectures, due to the limitation of allocated time, will put emphasis on certain parts of the topic. However, students are urged to study on their own to cover the whole subject. This will be achieved through reading from the reference books chosen by each department.

Teaching Staff 2. Clinical Skills Lab.: - The same faculty staff will cover the skills lab activities. - Demonstration by the teacher will be done first, and handouts to be delivered to the students at the start of each module describing the type(s) of skills to be learned, theoretical background and procedure description. - Debriefing will be made at the end of the session.

Teaching Staff 3. Clinical Teaching Rounds:  Selected hospital staff in collaboration with the faculty staff is going to arrange and teach the students in the clinical rounds. - On the day of the clinical teaching session students should:  Prepare at least two fully clerked patients.  Participate in the discussion of one or more cases.  Be able to present a case of a clerked patient during any teaching round.  The clinical teaching sessions are run 2 days a week.  Attendance during all sessions is mandatory. Any missed session will result in one mark deduction.  Students who are absent more than 20 % of the sessions are not illegible to sit for end of posting exam.

Clinical Round Logbook  Clinical Round Logbook had been designed to evaluate & assess the overall knowledge, participation & attendance of the students..  It is mandatory for every student to bring with him/her the logbook in each session, and for the supervisor to sign in the concerned table at the END of the session.  At the end of the module, logbook marks will be counted to represent a sensible percentage from the final marks.
