The education is in English at Acıbadem University School of Medicine. Students who are admitted to the medical school must take the English Language Proficiency Examination or present equivalent proof of exam scores (TOEFL, etc.). Students who fail the exam have to attend English preparatory class for one year.
The medical education programme features 3 phases:
The education is based on an integrated curriculum. In this program, systems within the human body are described from the simplest units such as the cell to more complex systems including pathologies, in subject committees. In Phase I, groups of subject committees form a whole curriculum for a given year. In addition, there are special blocks such as Clinical Medicine and Professional Skills (CMPS), Medical Informatics, Biostatistics and Medical Technologies, Interactive Modules, Medical English and Elective Courses. The term “Subject committee” means that topics of a given subject like “cell” or “organ systems” are described in a coordinated manner by different departments. These committees contain both, theoretical lectures, practical studies and modules. Integrated programs within the subject committees will provide the equal participation of basic and clinical sciences to teach a particular organ system. As an example; the gastrointestinal system will be given in all aspects by contributions from basic sciences and clinical sciences. The courses include both, knowledge from basic sciences like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and from clinical aspects like pathology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In Phase I, the curriculum consists of 14 subject committees; 4 in year I, 5 in year 2 and 5 in year 3. In Phase I, within subject committees interactive modules are organized. In these modules, students work in small groups under the guidance of a tutors and analyze cases related to the subject committee to acquire self-directed learning skills. Clinical Medicine and Professional Skills (CMPS) is a three-year interdisciplinary program of Phase I. This program is organized by the Departments of Public Health and Family Medicine and features five courses: Clinical and Communication Skills, Health and Society, Research in Health, and Medical Humanities. The CMPS program has been designed as an initial introduction to medical professionalism, providing a knowledge and skills mixed tool box.
