| Description: | The University of Nicosia Medical School, the oldest and largest in Cyprus, offers an MD degree programme designed for those holding university degrees in any field.
The Medical School has used its significant experience, over more than ten years, in delivering graduate-entry medical education to develop a new programme aimed at holders of university degrees from any discipline. This innovative programme has been designed in accordance with the European Union directive requirements for basic medical education and has been accredited by the Cyprus Agency of Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Higher Education (CYQAA) against the robust and comprehensive medical education standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WFME). As such, it appeals to aspiring doctors who aim to practise medicine across the globe.
The curriculum was designed and developed by an international team comprising medical education experts from the United Kingdom, Ireland and Cyprus and Medical School alumni and was reviewed by a committee of diverse stakeholders including academics, current students, future employers and representatives of patient organizations. The curriculum is aligned with the School's mission and core values and draws from the principles and methods of modern medical pedagogy. With student-centredness at the heart of all of our activity, the programme ensures the development of active learners and critical thinkers who embrace reflection on their experience and who are able to work in collaboration with colleagues from a variety of healthcare disciplines.
The graduates of the programme will be in a strong position to secure postgraduate training in their chosen specialty. They will be able to practise medicine in a competent and compassionate manner working in conjunction with other health professionals, develop into innovative researchers, effective leaders and learner-centred teachers and, ultimately, serve and improve the health of the population. |
