OVERVIEW
Introduction
The Faculty of Medicine is the flagship programme of MUCM. The curricula conceived initially from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, India has undergone numerous reviews over the past 26 years since the inception. The current curricula has the best mix of Malaysian, Indian and global flavour in tandem with contemporary advances in medical education and technological advancement.
MUCM believes in nurturing students holistically with all rounded competencies. Our students strive in a spacious campus in Melaka and Muar equipped with state-of-the-art teaching learning facilities and with ample recreational as well as sporting activities. During the early years, students are exposed to cadaveric dissection complemented with Anatomage table that provides 3D visualization and virtual dissection tool for anatomy and physiology. During the clinical years, augmented virtual reality teaching tools to enhance students’ skills in medical procedures is in the cards.
Our faculty members consist of a blend of local and foreign experienced academicians who are able to impart valuable information, share life experiences as well as mentor students in research activities.
