1. Basic English / ( NB: Basic Arabic is given to non-Arabic speakers)

These topics and areas will be covered; Recognize the four word parts that form medical terms;
word root, combining forms, prefixes, and suffixes. Name word roots, combining forms,
prefixes and suffixes commonly used in health sciences.

2. Medical English Terminology
These topics and areas will be covered; Identify the common biomedical terminology in
English, recognize words associated with anatomical structures, and pathology of common
diseases, break down and reconstruct medical, dental & pharmaceutical terms according to
word parts and descriptions and medical terms referring to each body system
3. Human body (from cell to system) (Structure and function or Human body )

This module is a multidisciplinary approach to fully integrate the disciplines of anatomy,
physiology, histology, embryology, and neuroscience. The module is designed to provide a
basic understanding of the normal human body and development, with emphasis on the
dynamic relationships between structure and function. Students can apply their understanding
of three-dimensional anatomy knowledge to interpreting normal medical imaging.
4. Patient Safety

Patient safety education and training is required learning for all levels of training but
particularly during the early years when students are establishing the foundations for their
clinical practice. Students can begin to learn practical lessons about patient safety as soon as
they enter the classroom, ward or clinic. This requires more than classroom teaching: it requires
teachers to demonstrate how they act to keep patients safe. Patient safety is a complex topic
which includes new areas of knowledge such as human factors, systems, root cause analysis
and risk reduction. Its principles and concepts apply to all areas of medicine. A safe practitioner
integrates patient safety concepts and principles into their clinical practice.
5. Medical Informatics

Combined use of communication and computer applications and healthcare is known as
Medical Informatics (MI). Application areas of MI, or biomedical informatics, covers four
main areas: clinical informatics, public health informatics, imaging informatics, and
bioinformatics. MI course will enable them to effectively manage health information in their
future practice. Also, technology has become an integral part in healthcare environment during
patient care.
6. Biostatistics

Most medical students are not destined to become producers of research and they usually call
on professional statisticians for assistance. All medical decisions, from the simplest to the most
complex, are made in the light of knowledge that has grown out of research. Whether we advise
a patient to stop certain habit, to take a medication, or to undergo surgery, our advice must be
made on the basis of some kind of research evidence. How this research was found,
understood, how evidence was obtained and disseminated, and how we understand it, is
therefore critical.
