Executive Summary

Admission of the 24th batch marked the beginning of the academic year 2009–10

with the inspirational speech from the founder, Haj Saeed Lootah. The freshers were

cordially welcomed with an oath-taking ceremony, with the Holy month of Ramadhan

instilling values into the aspiring doctors.

Curriculum enhancement and pedagogical tools were top priorities leading to

remarkable improvement in the teaching system. The revamped clinical assessment

system now employs more objective, multidisciplinary and structured methods.

Benchmarked with world class institutions and fine-tuned by our faculty, the system

is up-to-date efficient and relevant.

The consistent performance of the students in spite of increasing difficulty levels in

the examination, stand testimony to the effectiveness of the selection process

employed during student admission. Remedial courses, strict attendance policy,

interdisciplinary teaching and early clinical exposure have all helped us produce

competent doctors.

The CAA interim visit led the units to proudly show the improvements made during

the last two years. The comments of the CAA team, as always, motivated and

inspired the staff to continue their quest for excellence.

The college played its role in balancing the media frenzy over the Swine flu epidemic

by supporting the public health department. The community medicine department,

under Dr. Marwa, promoted health awareness - safety measures being taught within

the campus as well as outside. The health awareness day in partnership with Dubai

Police was followed by week long activities related to the Nutrition module.

The Medawi Hospital Hospital project opened up the prospects for placement for

future graduates. The INFOR-MED monthly e-newsletters created an interest in the

activities and elicited excellent reviews about research undertaken in the college.

This gave a chance to highlight college faculty, students and graduates. Internal

communication channels through Avaya were evaluated for improvement.

The disciplinary system was enforced to improve attitudes and professionalism

course was introduced to the first year students. These along with ICDL, medical

terminology courses and seminars have given students respite from the densely

packed teaching schedule.

AFI’s identified for the coming academic year are communication, partnership,

graduate affairs, integration of clinical with preclinical, attendance recording and

regulation, disciplinary affairs, student recognition, website improvement


Seamless integration through regular meetings and resolutions has been aimed for.

In addition the admin staff met at the college to resolve the communication issues.

Efforts towards Environmental initiatives by partnering with Delhi Public School bore

fruit by the DEWA award for Conservation of Energy being given to DMC. This year

saw an explosion of career guidance activities. These and other channels like th e

newsletters helped to recognize the graduates who have accomplished their goals.

Graduate recognition through newsletters and career guidance sessions

Summer training to Germany was organized by IE unit.

Graduation Ceremony was again conducted at a grand scale with the experience of

the previous year helping to keep the costs low. MES2010 again was accepted very

warmly by medical education community.

The functional units were strengthened with active participation from the

subcommittees. Career guidance, Health and safety, conservation of energy and

communication review subcommittees have been very active in making the

experience of staff and students of DMC worthwhile. Innovative ideas program was

conceived an appreciated.

Due to limitations of space and time this report reflects just few of the achievement

during this academic year. This report reflects the untiring efforts of the staff in takin

the college to the next level. The support and cooperation of all the staff in collecting

the data is highly appreciated.

We hope this will steer us towards the Dubai Quality Award which we hope to apply

for this year.

Remedial course

Academic Counseling and Remediation This program was implemented by Student affairs committee in coordination with student counseling committee and examination committee. Dr. Nadia, the head of control of First Year, presented the results of Biochemistry, Anatomy and Medical Terminology exams. She clarified that 4 students in Biochemistry, 5 students in Anatomy and 3 students in Medical Terminology got less than 60%. She added that letters will be sent to the parents of weak students to inform them about the performance of their girls. Second Year: Dr Neveen, the head of control of Second year, presented the results of Mid Semester exams. She clarified that the number of students who got less than 60% in the subjects are as follows:

Histology : 17 students Anatomy : 12 students Pharmacology : 9 students Physiology : 6 students Pathology : 3 students Microbiology : 1 student

She clarified that some of the students exceeded their absenteeism limit and they should be sent warning letters. Third year: Dr. Mervat, the head of Control of Third year, presented the results of Endocrine and Reproductive Comprehensive exam. She clarified that 6 of the students had weak performance and got less than 60% in the exam. Letters will be sent to the parents of weak students to come and meet with the head of control of their year and if they need more details about the performance of their daughter in certain subject they will be directed to the concerned staff. Dr Marwa was assigned to receive the complaints of first year students and Dr Doaa for Second year students within 2 weeks from the date of announcement of the results.

Effectiveness of Problem Based Learning

First year Second year Target Benchmark


TEACHING IN CLINICAL PHASE

Achievements in the Clinical phase

1. Multi disciplinary teaching in Emergency Room at Trauma Center was

established through the involvement of Prof. Muscat Baron and Prof. Abdul

Jabbar.

2. MOU renewal between DHA and DMC was discussed.

3. Integration of teaching by sharing of faculty was achieved. Faculty members

from the Psychiatry department taught Behavioural sciences in the preclinical

phase.

4. Introduction to Clinical Medicine given to second and third year students

improved student satisfaction rates.

5. The Academic Medicine seminar conducted by the OBG dept of Dubai Hospital

utilized Anatomy Department to give lectures.

6. Acquisition of medical imaging material for updating resources for teaching was

arranged. Dr. Hani Afifi from Radiology Department arranged several CT scans

from radiology department for teaching Clinical Anatomy.

7. Sharing of the brief syllabuses of both phases, marks obtained by students,

details of clinical rotations and transport arrangements facilitated coordination of

administrative units.

8. The Examination in Medicine and Surgery will be integrated to be a single

combined exam in the coming batches.

9. The departments of Medicine and Surgery planned for a revised objective

practical examination using up-to-date methods.

10. Renaming of DOHMS into DHA required re-designing of the degree certificates.

Appropriate actions were taken to this end.

11. The HC formulated and approved a Policy for verification of experience of

clinical faculty, who left several years ago.

12. Policy for accepting applications for Elective rotations by external students was

made.

13. Atendance policy was made more strict in the light of the poor results of the

batch20.

Some of the new and revised polices are given below:

1. Policy for providing certification for experience as clinical faculty:

A faculty member may be certified as having teaching experience at DMC if she /he

fulfills the following criteria

1. The faculty member should be formally designated as teaching faculty by

Clinical Faculty Board.


2. The number of hours taught by the faculty member should be a minimum of

1hour per month in the duration that is certified.

3. Total duration of work should be a minimum of 1year.

2. Elective rotation for students from other countries-

Visa preparation can be done by the college. The duration should be 3

months or less.

Draft of Policy of the college regarding visiting students was presented

Their accommodation arrangements

Decision:

The policy was approved.

For all new applications for elective posting, papers should be sent to

Ms. Fatima, at DMCG clinical office.

Inform about fees should be sent to the applicants.

Mrs. Mervet will confirm the visa regulations and time required for processing.

3. A proposal for new attendance policy for clinical students was prepared. The

new regulations are as follows:

1. Students cannot miss classes without prior approval. They have to submit a

written application and they can absent themselves only if approved.

2. Student absence without prior approval is considered as misbehavior.

3. If a student does not have the required attendance of 80%, she will not be

permitted to appear for the examination.

4. Such a student who is not permitted to sit for the exam will have to take the

next available exam; no special exam will be conducted for her.

5. This exam can be taken only after attending remedial course which has to be

paid for by the student.

6. Her exam will be considered as her first appearance in the exam.

7. The students who exceeds certain limits of absence, even if it is with

approval, have to make up for the lost days by doing extra work.

8. For the students who sat for the exam and failed, all existing rules remain the

same.

9. Remedial classes with compulsory attendance was arranged for failed

students.

The students should be distributed this policy and the student should sign that they

have been informed about the new policy.

The new policy will be applicable to the Batch 21 onwards.

This will lead to a deterioration of clinical competence achieved by the students.


Examinations:

Summary of Changes in Examination policies:

Examination affairs sailed smoothly in the last academic year 2009-2010. Faculty

board suggested and approved some updates and revisions in the examination

procedures. These are:

From the next academic year (2010-2011), Resit marks distribution will be

modified and the percentage of the student activities will be added so the

Marks in First semester will be 90% for the Final Exam and 10% for the

activities and in Second Semester 85% for the Final Exam and 15% for the

activities.

Third year midterm results will be declared as module wise, rather than

subject wise.

Health Awareness Day:

A ‘Health Awareness Day’ was organized in December, 2009 by the first and second

year students and supervised by Dr. Marwa, to emphasize the importance of a

healthy lifestyle and eating habits. The day began with a walkathon around the

Arabian Centre in association with the Dubai Police, followed by sport activities at

the college grounds. Dr. Nazneen Hussain and Dr. Aisha Salim from the Department

of Health - Al Khwaneej Primary Healthcare Centre conducted a detailed screening

and assessment of basic parameters such as Body Mass Index, cholesterol, blood

pressure and sugar levels for the students. This was followed by a lecture on

‘Metabolic Syndrome’ by Dr. Mohammed Obaida. Strong emphasis was also laid on

and Dr Hiba, spent all their free time preparing for the show: writing the Script,

arranging the technical support, distributing the roles of each, preparing all the

needed support materials and practicing for the show. After passing the different

stages of competition they had been qualified for the finals. The final stage was

hosted by Ministry of Health at the ‘Dubai Women’s Association’ to mark the launch

of the ‘International program on anti-smoking’. Here, DMC staff displayed specimens

showing effects of smokingand explained about the illnesses caused.

Several VIPs including the Minister of Health Dr. HanifHassan and Dubai Police chief

The DMC Arthropods workshop was an applied workshop for clinical importance and

prevention and control of arthropods borne infections. The event was conducted in

June 2010 in collaboration with Dubai Municipality’s pests control section. This

initiative was planned and organized by Associate Prof. Dr. Doaa Sultan and Dr.

Marwa Khalil from Dubai Medical College in collaboration with Eng. Ruba Ziad Taha,

health education officer and Mrs. Kharira Al Rais, health officer (public health

services department- Dubai Municipality). This workshop represented integration

between Medical Parasitology and Community Medicine departments from a public

health perspective which is a part of the ‘innovative ideas’ program of DMC. Ten

groups of second year students (Batch 23) made power point presentations related

to the title of the workshop. This led to active discussion after each presentation

between the guests and students. The guests appreciated the talented presentations

and the depth of understanding of students. In the end, the guests presented

different types and stages of real insects of medical importance and different control

measures which are actually applied in UAE. They also distributed different scientific

brochures to the students.

Clinical Skills Module is a module that was designed at Dubai Medical College in the

academic year 2006-2007 through the cooperation between the preclinical faculty

and the Academic Department of Primary Health Care based on: the needs of

students (from their questionnaires feedback), the recommendations of both

preclinical and clinical staff and from the benchmarking with other international

universities. The aim of this module is to start the clinical exposure of the students

as early as possible which will help in making a smooth transition of the preclinical

students to the clinical field before they start their actual clinical training in their

second semester of the third year.

One of the module objectives is to help the students to gain the skill of clinical

auditing through performing audit on some of the services provided through Primary

Health Care Clinics. The students are divided into groups and each group is going to

select one of the services to audit it under the supervision of the staff of the

academic department of Primary Health Care. Here is summary of some of the
