Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS)

The curriculum consists of two phases: the Medical Sciences Phase (Phase 1), spanning the initial two years, and the Clinical Phase (Phase 2), extending over the subsequent three years. Each phase is structured into four blocks, with modules/postings rearranged as follows:

The Medical Sciences Phase, also termed the Pre-clinical Phase, comprises four blocks: Block 1 (Foundation in Medical Sciences), Block 2 (Introduction to Behavioural Science, Clinical, and Community Medicine), Block 3 (System-Based Medical Sciences I), and Block 4 (System-Based Medical Sciences II).

Similarly, the Clinical Phase consists of four blocks spread across three years: Block 5 (Junior Clerkship), Block 6 (Specialty Clerkship I), Block 7 (Specialty Clerkship II), and Block 8 (Senior Clerkship). For specific block contents, please refer to the modules provided below. Additionally, throughout the five-year program, subjects focusing on soft skills development—such as communication, behavioral science, team dynamics, critical thinking, problem-solving, leadership, and management—are integrated.

The SEGi MBBS program holds international recognition and accreditation from various medical councils and regulatory bodies worldwide, including those in Malaysia, Thailand, Pakistan, Qatar, and the Maldives.
