Training medical professionals requires thorough
planning through well-thought medical curriculum that
takes into account the changes surrounding the profession itself and the expectation of the
community with regard to the graduate that it intent to
produce. The Kulliyah (faculty) of Medicine,
International Islamic University Malaysia, (IIUM)
pioneered what it called, Islamic Input Medical
Program (IIMP) since its inception in 1995, in its
effort to produce a different ʻbreedʼ of doctors who
not only excel in their professional duty but also
portray conduct, (akhlaq) expected of a good Muslim.
A good Muslim doctor is expected to portray a
highest degree of medical professionalism and
demonstrate proper etiquette while dealing with
his/her patients. However, inculcating
professionalism and proper etiquette among medical
undergraduates is not an easy matter. Learning this
value could be done through a workshop activity
whereby students demonstrate their understanding
on these aspects of care through discussion of case
studies given to them prior to the scheduled activity.
Although it is difficult to measure and assess the
degree of understanding and practice of
professionalism among students, a portfolio seems to
be a promising learning and teaching tool to assess
the studentʼs achievement as specified in the
learning outcome. This article describes our
experience in trying to develop such attitude among
our medical students. |
