Mansoura
University offers two programs for the medical field , namely : Conventional
Program and Manchester Program . Almost all universities in Egypt using
Conventional systems except Alexandria University.
For
your information , Manchester and Conventional Program This program is
different from the angle of the syllabus, learning styles and different
learning methods and examination system . But different ways, the goal remains
the same whatever - so doctors will graduate already . God willing .
In
Manchester program , there are two sem for a year. Every sem , students will
learn a topic , for example, three sem students will study topics of cardio -
respiratory fitness . So , all three sem will learn all aspects of cardio -
respiratory fitness - all angles. The students are taught to use the program
Based Learning ( PBL) .
What
is PBL ?
PBL
is an acronym for Program Based Learning . In this program , students will be
given a case every week , usually every sem is 10 cases, that is, a total of 20
cases for the year. PBL, in simple and concise language is small . In each PBL,
there are about 11 people, and each PBL have their own mentors consisting of
university physicians . PBL place to discuss this with their PBL members after
attending the lecture .
Activities
during the PBL
Given
case is often in the form of essays. In essay form is available all the
information about the patient , patient 's complain and sebgainya . PBL group
members , in turn, elect a chairman to handle the case of PBL .
Often,
the PBL case began with the recitation of each member. Then the group will find
Difficult words and try to define it , for example " dysphagia " ,
" abscess " , etc . Later, the chairman will ask the members of the
proposed objectives . The objective is a weekly student assignment - eg ,
physiology of pine etc . The objective is not just one or two , maybe a dozen .
Subsequent
PBL , students are asked to explain all that has been learned from the study
(study ) objectives for the case in other PBL members , doctors will add just a
little - bit - just a mentor .

Students
are required to attend the lecture for about two hours and a practical class
for an hour. When the third semester , students are exposed to early exposure
