Comments of the Medical Council visit 2003

• . To continue to monitor, review and evaluate
  the progress in curriculum reform
• the degree of integration of pre-clinical
  teaching in the new curriculum, which seems to be
  not as far reaching as in other medical schools,
  eg PHUS, biochemistry, pathology.
• ..careful monitoring and review of SSM.. The
  Team urges the Faculty to be discriminating in
  assessing how objectives are addressed in each
  topic
