At this University, we assign liberal arts education to the first year and the first semester of the second year, to help students acquire some understanding of a wide range of culture. In the second semester of the second year, and the first semester of the third year, students learn basic medical subjects such as human anatomy, cellular biology, human body-mechanics, neurology, molecular genetics, mechanisms of disease.
For education in clinical medicine, a small-group active-learning method is used, so that students will be able to integrate the lectures into their own studies.
At the end of their fourth year, students will take the nation-wide unified tests the Computer-Based Testing (CBT) and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), to find out to what extent they have acquired the necessary knowledge and skills of national standard.
Students will do their clinical practice ("Hospital Rotations") in their fifth and sixth years, and they will be required to meet basic standards of clinical skills through participating in practice. During the last part of their clinical practice in their sixth year, they will concentrate on core subjects, focusing on internal medicine and surgery, and then they will choose their own special subjects.
