51. 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.
52. 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.
53. 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.
