Arrangements for availability of faculty and teaching staff for individual student
consultations and academic advice:
The CoM program established its own mentorship program that employs all fulltime faculty as
mentors. Through this program, every medical student in the program is assigned a mentor at
the beginning of their first semester of studies. The program has a broad scope covering
academic advising and counseling. The mentors handle all aspects related to academic advising,
including academic planning, academic performance review, advice on course drop or
withdrawal, study skills, and time management.

B. Course Objectives and Learning Outcomes

This hematology course is directed towards the learning and understanding of pathological
disorders of the hematology system, including benign, malignant, and infectious conditions. It
aims at a multidisciplinary-approach involving hematopathology, pediatric and adult
hematology/oncology, pharmacology, microbiology, and immunology to attain the maximum
benefit of integration. It covers concepts of blood cell development and abnormal blood cell
rnorphology in all types of hematologic diseases. Different types of anemia including iron
deficiency anemia, megaloblastic anemia, hemolytic and non-hemolytic anemias, thalassemia,
sickle cell disease will be also explained. The methods of microscopic analysis of
hemoglobinopathies, methods of blood grouping and blood transfusion, and its complications
will be discussed through lectures and large group discussions. The course will give an overall
view of bone marrow failure, stem cell transplantation, and hematological malignancies
including leukemia, lymphomas, myelodysplastic and myeloproliferative disorders, and
multiple myeloma. It will also cover topics of coagulation factor deficiencies, platelets, and
common thrombotic disorders. ' Also, the biology of heritable imnrunodeficiencies and the
principles of tissue transplantation and rejection will be covered. The course will also describe
the pathobiology of malaria, systemic viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

This course deals with the abnormal structure and function of common musculoskeletal and
integumentary (MSI) disorders, with special emphasis on its pathology, microbiology,
immunology, and pharmacology. It builds on the foundation and serves as an introduction to
clinical aspects of MSI diseases, in terms of common presentation, signs, symptoms, clinical
investigation, and therapeutic modalities. This course will also introduce medical students to
the principles of history taking and physical examination.

l. Course Description
Professional Skills-III Course (PRO-355) runs for l6-weeksparallel to the fourblocks of the
fifth-semester curriculum; cvP (6-weeks), HEl\{/oNC (3-weeks). MSI (7-weeks).
Each block contains target skill sets that have been selected as a key foundation for acquisition
by medical students. The skills taught in this course are in line with the blocks taken during the
semester.
The course assists medical students to integrate critical thinking with practical skills by
developing connections between basic science knowledge and clinical presentation.
Training involves hrstory taking, symptomatology recognition, physical examination, common

diagnostic methods, and the acquisition and deployment of necessary procedural skills related
to system blocks (CVP, HEM/ONC, MSI).

This course introduces the basic concepts of evidence-based medicine (EBM) and critical
appraisal of the medical literature. It consists of two major parts. The first part of this course
will be devoted to searching for the best evidence in the medical literature and critically
appraising it. Students will be asked to read research articles designed to answer a clinical
question and then evaluate their validity and generalizability. The second part of this course will
be devoted to learning how to generate evidence. Students will learn different types of research
designs from cross-sectional studies to randomized clinical trials (RCTs). Besides, students will
be required to write a research proposal addressing a medical question relevant to the Kingdom.
Finally, students will be introduced to the basics of the fields of epidemiology and clinical
epidemiology.

B. Course Obiectives and Learni Outcomes

This block is fully integrated - covering normal structure and function as well as integrating
disease processes and pharmacotherapy of the diseases related to neurology and psychiatry. In
addition, a clinical skills program runs concuffently, teaching the students the skills required for
examination and diagnostic approach to different clinical presentations in neurologic and
psychiatric disorders.
The main objective of the Neuroscience course is to relate normal structure and function of the
Central Nervous System with signs and symptoms, epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology,
and drugs used in the treatment of common neurological and psychiatric disorders.

The Family Medicine curriculum has been developed to ensure an integrated and smooth
introduction to the clinical field of Family Medicine in association with basic sciences materials
presented in the integrated blocks. Two Family Medicine Courses will be offered in pre-
clerkship years, Family Medicine I and Family Medicine II.
This course COM 358, will cover the following topics:

o Occupational Health,
o EnvironmentalHealth,
o Preventive Medicine,
o Wound Care,
o Sports Medicine and Rehab,
o Patient Safety
o Office Procedure Skills
Introduction to the clinical field of Family Medicine in association with basic sciences
