“…11 Curriculum revision is necessitous because of the continuing changing in the healthcare system and subsequently in their demands. 23 The overall perception of the students in this survey seems to be a positive one, with most of the students having favourable views about the different aspects of the curriculum. This finding is consistent with a previous study that was performed in Sudan, 14 as well as other studies done in India, 24 Sweden, Australia, 25 British School of Osteopathy, 25,26 Saudi Arabia (Umm Al-Qura University in addition to King Abdulaziz University), 25 the United Arab Emirates, 27 Kuwait, 28 Canada.…”

Medical school curriculum evaluation is necessary to document outcomes, determine the effectiveness of educational programs, and meet accreditation requirements. This has become more difficult over the last decade, and it is critical to carefully assess the conclusion. The purpose of this research was to gather information from Sinnar medical students regarding their perceptions of the curriculum, learning, teachers, and academic self-perception. Methodology: A cross-sectional analytic quantitative study including under and freshly graduated students was conducted in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sinnar, Sudan, between the 18th of January 2021 and the 2nd of February 2022. Data was collected using a validated questionnaire including student perception of learning, student perception of teachers, academic self-perception, and student self-perception. Results: A total of 705 students participated in this study. Of them, 443 (63.1%) were females, with the majority from second years (35.8%) followed by fourth-year (21.6%). A 433 (64.5%) agreed that the teaching is students centred, and teaching helped them in their development (68.0%). In addition, nearly half of the participants (58.1%) stated that the teacher communicated clearly and understandably. Unfortunately, 44.6% said that the exam did not achieve all the course objectives. The most tension-induced places were the dissection room (DR) accounting (70.3%) followed by lecture halls (55.6%). The most common reason for not enhancing research skills is the unavailability of the research department (72.8%), along with the stress associated with the curriculum due to a lack of enough time for different activities (63.8%). Significant differences between males and females were found when answering questions regarding research skills and students' involvement in curriculum time management. Conclusion: Most students have a positive impression towards the local curriculum, learning, and engaged teachers. More studies with more standardization and specification regarding curriculum content, Curriculum structure and strategies, should be conducted in the future.

Such curriculum models are found to be successful when applied in other local universities like (FMUG) for example in Sudan, also in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, University of El Imam El Mahdi [11,21].…”

Medical school curriculum evaluation is crucial for ensuring students acquire the necessary knowledge and that programs align with their goals. The complexity of curricula and stringent accreditation requirements heighten the challenge, emphasizing the need for thorough assessment to ensure efficiency and effectiveness. A study at Alzaiem Alazhary Medical School gathered feedback from 1610 students on curriculum, learning, teachers, and academic self-perception. Conducted from September 14 to October 24, 2023, using a validated questionnaire, the study aimed to pinpoint areas for curriculum enhancement. Results revealed a mean age of 21.03±SD 2.667, with over two-thirds being females. Notably, 61.8% agreed on student-centered teaching, and 72.4% found teaching instrumental in their development. About 49.7% acknowledged clear examples from teachers, while 56.8% believed exams met course objectives. Common stressors included lab environments (46.2%) and limited time for research (72.8%). The study underscored the positive aspects of the curriculum, fostering management, communication, teamwork, and independent learning skills. However, identified areas for improvement include the absence of a dedicated research department and reported student stress. Recommendations include revising the curriculum. Despite overall positive student impressions, there's a scarcity of standardized data on faculty perceptions. Future studies should delve into curriculum content, structure, and strategies with more standardization. In conclusion, while the curriculum at Alzaiem Alazhary Medical School has strengths, addressing highlighted issues can enhance its overall effectiveness.
