A proposed curriculum for the six-yer medical studies

Matko Marušić

Abstract

A new curriculum for the School of Medicine is delineated. It is based on an attempt to decrease the number of examinations (to 26), to reach 5,500 teaching hours for the whole curriculum, to introduce multiple choice test exams and to make the passing of examinations more comfortable for students. The latter is achieved by division of exams into 2 to 4 sub-exams, which can be taken during the school year (in the mid-terms). Each curriculum year contains related subjects: the first year is premedical, the second teaches subjects like Anatomy and Physiology, the third subjects like Pathology and Microbiology, the fourth is "internal medicine" year, the fifth "surgical", and the sixth "public health" year. During the 12th semester a student has to do diploma thesis and take two large elective courses related to the subject of the thesis. Both, together with the presentation of the diploma thesis, constitute the Diploma Examination. The examination in each curriculum subject can be taken and passed trough partial examinations in the midterms, or as a whole, in regular terms.
