Who Should Pursue this Program?
Program Design & Delivery Method
The B.Sc Medical Science course is of 3+1 years spread over 8 semesters. The fourth year is for internship in a field/speciality of their choice.
The First Year: introduces you to the science of life, to the scientific method & clinical practice. In the first year of Medical Science degree, one will begin to explore the intricacies of human anatomy, from cellular & molecular biology all the way through to physiology. This broad understanding helps to make sense of the relevance & importance of normal body function. One will learn the principles of biomedical sciences, human nutrition, & metabolism to further understand the human body.
The Second Year: builds on the foundations laid in year 1. Introduction to case-based learning with clinical practice which will help to understand what happens when people become ill.
The Third Year: lets you choose modules that are most relevant to your career aims. There will be core modules in public health, modern research approaches, & regenerative medicine, as well as optional areas like 'bench to bedside' or anthropology, alongside a project work. All areas of the Medical Sciences course provide extra opportunities for clinical training & research, which will improve career potential.
Year Four: Working with senior doctors in clinical workstations (wards, critical care units), documenting & carrying out tests & prescription of medicines as per their instructions, transcription of patient data & facilitating insurance processes. One can choose yoga & spirituality, common mental illnesses, lift style diseases, human Genome project, stem cell technology, Artificial intelligence, Digital/Machine learning, Medical equipment, Clinical Intelligence engine & Robotics in medical fields & learn more by doing projects.
Teaching: One will learn through lectures, tutorial support, workshops, practical laboratory sessions, directed & self-directed study & approximately 80 hours of work-based learning in university hospitals. One is exposed to case/problem-based learning, & the same will be assessed in a similar way to medical college exams. These teaching methods promote lifelong learning, open inquiry, teamwork, & critical thinking which are essential transferable skills.
