{AF}
This MD UCC programme involves the integration of the high quality medical education which UCC and NUI Galway have traditionally provided to Malaysian medical students coming to Ireland, and the far-sighted development plans of Allianze University College of Medical Sciences (AUCMS) to develop medical education in Malaysia.{/AF}
The program consist of two phases:
- 1st Phase: Medical studies in Ireland for 2.5 years
- 2st Phase : Clinical Studies at Ministry Of Health affiliated hospital for 2.5 years
Clinical years will be conducted through a network of teaching hospitals.
- Hospital Taiping , Perak
- Hospital Kulim, Kedah.

The Curriculum
- In Years 1-2, 80% of the curriculum is devoted to Systems-based basic sciences Education. These modules provide discipline-specific introductory material before proceeding on to integrated system-based content in Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Gastrointestinal, Neurological, Renal, Endocrine and Reproduction. These systems-based modules incorporate teaching from the disciplines of Physiology, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Pharmacology and in addition each module has selective teaching from clinicians with a view to placing the systems-based basic science education in a clinical context, thus ensuring the students can see the relevance of their basic science education through their future clinical practice. Students also undertake a module each year which acts as an introduction to the clinical and communication skills required for effective interaction and assessment of patients. The course lays heavy emphasis on the demonstration of the relevance and application of the fundamental medical sciences and bio-psycho-social models in clinical presentation and examination, and includes training in basic proficiency in first aid skills.
- The transition from learning the scientific basis of medicine to clinically centred teaching is facilitated by modules in Epidemiology, Health & Disease, Human Genetics, Pathology and Organ Failureand Pharmacology in Year 2. These modules provide a foundation for a more extensive integrated module on Health and Disease in Semester 5 – as preparation before students return to Malaysia. The Health & Disease modules are delivered by the disciplines of Bacteriology, Pathology and Public Health with contributions from other disciplines. Information is included in Global Health and Development with input from public health medicine, bacteriology, infectious diseases, obstetrics and paediatrics.Students should note that the second half of year 3 commences in Ireland and students will transfer midway through to Malaysia. In Ireland, the teaching is primarily devoted to Preparation for Clinical Practice. On transfer to Malaysia, clinical rotations commence with Clinical Practice interwoven with Professionalism. Once again, the modules are systems-based and integrated. They are taught by the disciplines of Medicine, Surgery, Anaesthesia and Radiology. Vertical integration with revision of surface Anatomy and physiological principles are included and delivered by basic scientists. Year 4 concentrates on modules in Maternal and Child Health, Mental Health, Primary Care and ENT, again interwoven with curriculum time devoted to Professionalism and reinforcement of clinical skills. Teaching in the final year comprises integrated Advanced Clinical Practice and Specialist Clinical Modules (Dermatology/Plastics, Neurology/Ophthalmology, Renal/Urology, Musculoskeletal, Cancer Studies). This year also includes Shadowing for Clinical Practice to provide further training in procedural skills and competencies. 20% of the curriculum time in Year 5 will be devoted to Professionalism delivered in a manner which is closely integrated with the bedside teaching and practice in this final year.
