The course will integrate basic sciences. Neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuropathology,
neuropharmacology, microbiology, human behavior and biochemistry have been integrated as
much as possible and will be interwoven with each other throughout the course. Neuroanatomy
has been traditionally a course with an incredible amount of memorization which is easily
forgotten as time passes. The key to retention is understanding the relevance of what you have
learned and using that information as a physician uses that information. The heart of this course
in Neuroscience is to structure the learning of the material around the neurological clinical
method of regional anatomical diagnosis.

43. Prepare to Basic Science Exam (TLE1)

This small course will present theme lectures to make road maps of all topics taught and
covered in previous years. Each course will have a two hour session where all aspects will be
presented graphically as a road map to the students with a possibility of some highlights on
common things. The primary aim of this course is to prepare the students for the final exam;
Tanta Licensing Exam I (TLEI).

44. Medical Interviewing skills III

The course will integrate the previously finished interviewing skills, and clinical practice
courses. The integration will make a sound background for the more advanced interviewing
skills. Advanced skills will introduce in detail the issue of patient referral, giving consultation,
difficult situations, community problems and situations of bad news. Metacognition has a part
in this advanced course.

45. Medical Professionalism III

The course will integrate the previously finished clinical practice and professionalism courses.
The student should master reflection and constructive feedback. The course will customize the
professional rules to be in harmony with community needs and values. Role modelling and
promotion of professionalism is another angle of this course. Interpersonal collaboration and
professional behavior will be further studied. Patient rights versus community rights need to
be highlighted. Confidentiality issues need to be further expanded to cover more domains and
situations whether with patients, standardized patients or even classmates.
46. Multidisciplinary Clinical Problems

The course introduces students to the principles of clinical reasoning. Stress is placed on the
dual process model of clinical reasoning: non-analytic reasoning. The course introduce the role
of Laboratory Medicine in the practice of medicine; understand there is always utility as well
as limitations in laboratory tests; and to understand the different imaging modalities,
appearance of abnormalities on imaging studies, and indications for ordering different
radiology studies.
47. Integrated Clinical Skills

This course is designed to prepare the student for clerkship practice. Integration of all the
previous skills is a must for successful completion of this course. Longitudinal and spiral
themes of the curriculum should interact and support each other to reach to a common Sub-
competency of competency based practice. Communication, leadership, managerial,
interpersonal and professionalism skills will be demonstrated at certain harmony. Constructive
feedback and reflection must also be visible.
48. Non therapeutic Care Clerkship)

The students are divided on the clinical Departments to observe patient care procedures and
revise with quality checks; starting from admission, ward regulation, nursing steps, medication
