General Medicine is the largest study program at the First Faculty of Medicine, and the program lasts six years. The first three years are devoted to theoretical and preclinical courses, while the second half of the program focuses on clinical subjects.
The program follows recommended study plans, which are based on the program’s accreditation but are continuously evaluated to reflect advances in knowledge as well as feedback from teachers and students. In addition to compulsory courses, students must also enroll in elective courses to achieve the required number of credits. Elective courses are regularly analyzed and updated, and their requirements are also reviewed. Completion of elective courses is subject to meeting specific theoretical and practical requirements. The faculty currently offers students more than 400 elective courses.
The main objective of the General Medicine program is to provide comprehensive medical education through a six-year curriculum that combines theoretical, preclinical, and clinical training. The program aims to ensure continuous alignment with scientific advancements and student needs, while offering a wide range of elective courses to develop both theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for medical practice.
