Doctor of Medicine

The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program is a comprehensive five-year course designed to equip students with the scientific knowledge, clinical skills, and professional competencies required to become proficient medical practitioners. The program is structured into two distinct phases:

Phase 1 (Years 1 and 2) – A foundation in basic medical sciences, delivered over two years at the Petaling Jaya campus. This phase integrates pre-clinical subjects with early clinical exposure, ensuring a strong theoretical and practical ground in medicine.

Phase 2 (Years 3, 4 and 5) – A three-year clinical phase conducted in hospitals and healthcare facilities in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. This phase focuses on hands-on training, patient oriented care, and the application of medical knowledge in real-world healthcare settings.

Each academic year provides an immersive learning experience that combines didactic teaching, problem-based learning (PBL), and case based learning (CBL) to bed side teachings at the hospital wards, symposium, and clinical rotations, seminar, in the clinical years.

To ensure seamless integration between theory and practice, there are teaching activities during Year 2 for early exposure to clinical practice, through problem-based learning and project-based activities. Likewise, elements of basic medical sciences are incorporated throughout the clinical years, fostering a vertically integrated curriculum that strengthens diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making.

The MD program is open to authorized international collaborative partners, subject toinfrastructure approval by the University Senate.

Graduates from the undergraduate MD program will emerge asconscientious, compassionate, and ethical physicians, equipped with the skills necessary to excel inprimary health service and care, hospital-based medicine, to pursue further in the chosen specialization in the field of medicine after graduate.

Their training will encompass:

Beyond clinical expertise, the program emphasizes thedevelopment of leadership, communication, and ethical decision-making skills, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for medical practice in aglobal healthcare landscape.
