Competency Based Program intended learning outcomes or C-ILOs (70 ILOs)

The objectives are formulated by two methods; the first is following the adopted ACGME general
competencies and its sub or Key Competencies.

1. Domain 1 (Area 1) Medical Knowledge

Description: Graduates must demonstrate knowledge about established and evolving biomedical,
clinical, and cognate (e.g. epidemiological and social-behavioral) sciences and the application of this

knowledge to patient care and the education of others.

Key Competencies

Competency 1: Identify the basic and clinical sciences and integrating them in medical practice.

Objective 1: Describe the normal structure and function of the human body at the whole body, organ,
cellular, and molecular levels and integrate them to clinical practice.

disorders and approaches of disease screening and early detection.

Competency 2: Delineate investigatory planning and analytic thinking approaches.

Objective 6: Identify and utilize the essential knowledge of both lifelong learning methodology
(Critical thinking, medical informatics, and biostatistics) and evidence based medicine (research, critical

Objective 7: Characterize accurate hypotheses about the cause and effects, diagnosis or therapy,
through clinical reasoning and utilizing electronic databases and other biomedical resources for critical
