Our MBBS programme is divided into two distinct phases, each designed to provide you with a well-rounded and comprehensive medical education:

 

  • Phase 1 (Year 1, 2) focuses on building a strong foundation in medical sciences while introducing you to the world of clinical medicine. During this phase, you will have the opportunity to develop essential skills such as history taking and physical examination techniques. These skills will be honed through practical training using simulated patients and models. Through these interactive sessions, you will learn how to identify patients' problems and propose appropriate investigation plans.

  • Phase 2 (Years 3, 4 and 5) takes your learning to a more advanced level by immersing you in real-world clinical rotations at designated hospitals affiliated with the Ministry of Health. This phase is an invaluable opportunity for you to gain hands-on experience working directly with patients. You will have the chance to apply the knowledge and skills acquired in Phase 1 to real medical scenarios. Throughout this phase, you will be rotated across various clinical disciplines, including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Intensive Care, and many others. This comprehensive exposure ensures that you receive a well-rounded undergraduate training experience.

 

After graduating from Taylor’s Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme, you will obtain a prestigious MQA-accredited MBBS degree that is widely recognised and respected worldwide, enhancing your professional credibility.
