Therefore, we must be innovative in our approach of curricular development if we wish to continue to incorporate new basic sciences knowledge in the face of decreasing contact hours to satisfy the buzz word, \u201cintegration\u201d. Certainly, the challenges are phenomenal. The question how best to integrate basic sciences, is not easy to answer as the objectives of the courses and outcome vary from one medical school to another and the fact is, one size does not fit all. However, if we believe that basic sciences are the language of medicine and foundation of clinical knowledge, then we must resolve this ongoing dilemma by introducing basic sciences through a better alignment in a given curriculum. The purpose of this mini review is to evaluate different curricular models for their basic sciences content and address their strength and weakness. In addition, we will introduce a spiral design to integrate basic sciences for senior students. Finally, we will provide some insight as to how learning and retention of basic science content can be sustained.<\/p>\n<p>Cordial Congratulations to the research team and to Alfaisal University!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 06, 2018, The Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology has published the medical education mini review entitled: \u201cMedical&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"college-department":[{"term_id":14,"name":"College of Medicine","slug":"college-of-medicine","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":14,"taxonomy":"college-department","description":"","parent":0,"count":363,"filter":"raw"}],"class_list":["post-2686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","college-department-college-of-medicine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Medical education dilemma: how best to accommodate basic sciences in a curriculum for the 21st century medical students?
