The Doctor of Medicine (MD) program is a comprehensive five-year course designed to equip students with the scientific knowledge, clinical skills, and professional competencies required to become proficient medical practitioners. The program is structured into two distinct phases:
Phase 1 (Years 1 & 2) – A foundation in basic medical sciences, delivered over two years at the Petaling Jaya campus. This phase integrates pre-clinical subjects with early clinical exposure, ensuring a strong theoretical and practical ground in medicine.
Phase 2 (Years 3, 4 & 5) – A three-year clinical phase conducted in hospitals and healthcare facilities in Kota Bharu, Kelantan, Malaysia. This phase focuses on hands-on training, patient oriented care, and the application of medical knowledge in real-world healthcare settings.
Graduates of the MD program will have diverse career pathways in the medical and healthcare sectors. These include clinical practice, postgraduate specialization, academic medicine, research, healthcare leadership, and public health. The program also equips students with the foundational knowledge and clinical exposure necessary to pursue licensing examinations and further training opportunities in various countries, depending on individual career goals and regulatory requirements.
