Pioneer This medical programme stands out for its graduates who excel in their medical knowledge, skills and leadership. With a focus on five key areas – basic medical services; clinical and therapeutic methods, procedures, and investigations; community and family medicine; communication skills; and professional competence – the curriculum is designed to produce highly skilled doctors capable of meeting future medical challenges and advancing healthcare.
From Year 1, students will be based at Springhill (Seremban/PD) campus where the UCSI Hospital is also at. Students will have the opportunity to perform medical procedures instead of merely observing. This early exposure to patient interaction will subsequently ensure a smoother transition from university student to a medical doctor.
