Program overview

The aim of the medical program at Alte University is to prepare internationally qualified, highly skilled medical professionals by instilling contemporary skills, values, and methods in both practical and theoretical applications of medicine. The program encompasses various teaching methodologies and is divided into four phases, each emphasizing different aspects of medical education.

Teaching Methodologies:

The course offers integrated teaching with an innovative approach, to provide both basic and clinical understanding of organ systems, as well as developing the necessary knowledge, skills, and values required for the field of medicine. For the program implementation we use the following teaching methods:

Lectures: Traditional classroom instruction.

Group Work: Collaborative learning experiences. 

Discussions: Interactive sessions for exchanging ideas. 

Inquiry: Encouraging curiosity and exploration. 

Presentations: Sharpening communication and presentation skills. 

Case Studies: Analyzing real-world medical cases.

Virtual Reality Assisted Learning: Utilizing modern technology for immersive experiences. 

Clinical Based Learning: Learning in a real clinical setting. 

Bedside Teaching: Direct observation and instruction at the patient’s bedside. 

Learning Using Simulated Environments: Utilizing simulated scenarios for training.

The course is structured into four phases:

Phase 1 – Foundation:

Integrates key foundational fields (biochemistry, anatomy, physiology) with practical fields (radiology, clinical skills).

Provides a practical understanding of theoretical fields.

Phase 2 – Pre-clinical:

Focuses on understanding the syndromic and symptomatic effects of diseases through clinical analysis of patient conditions.

Phase 3 – Clinical:

Involves identification and analysis of medical diseases specific to disciplines such as obstetrics-gynecology, pediatrics, and surgery during hospital shifts.

Phase 4 – Actual Clinical Practice:

Applies accumulated knowledge in various ways, including independent clinical procedures, medical research, seminars, workshops.

Together with curricular courses, school offers exchange programs and preparatory courses for licensing exams and residencies in the US and India.

Course Results:
