Mechanisms of Malignancies and Hematology (HONC320)
This course covers an overview of hematology and oncology at the level of the third year medical student. The course consists of basic/clinical science lectures combined with relevant laboratory teaching and problem based learning (PBL) in relation with hematologic and oncologic disorders. Students will study basic mechanisms of cancer development, progression, diagnosis, therapy, screening and prevention. They will also study fundamental concepts of hematology including blood-forming organs and the origin and function of blood cells and plasma. They will also examine the theoretical and clinical aspects of normal and pathological conditions of erythrocytes, leukocytes, platelets, coagulation and blood group systems.

Renal and Urogenital Systems (WMEX350)
This course covers the essentials of history taking and physical examination pertaining to renal and urology systems. The course is designed to cover common topics and conditions in the field of nephrology, nephropathology and urology. It commences from basic medical sciences reviewing renal and urology systems embryological development, structure and function. The course highlights aberrant development, structure and function. The course is constructed of theme based weeks. Hence, lectures, practicals and problem based learning revolve around a specific theme and its differential diagnoses. Interactive learning is the core teaching method with one-to-one feedback by experienced clinicians and tutors. A structured checklist is used the faculty tutors to measure student performance and provide constructive feedback. Self-reflection and peer feedback are also encouraged. Standardized (simulated) patients of community volunteers provide an opportunity to practice and master physical examination in an optimal environment. The course dedicates time to cover medico-legal aspects in the practice of medicine supplemented by field trip to Dubai Police Headquarters. The course is comprehensive, yet challenging and stimulates students to employ medial reasoning, and clinical knowledge in solving patients related conditions.
