The Department of Primary Care Medicine takes pride in training medical students and doctors to become competent and compassionate family physicians who embrace evidence-based medicine and patient-centred care. We also train researchers through PhD and Master of Medical Science programmes with the aim to improve patient care and healthcare delivery in primary care.
The University of Malaya Medical Programme (UMMP) is the 5-year undergraduate medical programme. Our department are involved in teaching students at various stages of their training.
The Department conducts the Masters in Family Medicine Programme which was started in 1989. In 1997, the Conjoint Board of Specialization in Family Medicine (Jawatankuasa Kecil Pengkhususan Perubatan Keluarga [JKKPPK]) was established to ensure the standardization of the Master of Family Medicine Programme.
At RUKA, we believe that a supportive, and supported, student community is one of the keys to an enjoyable MMedSc/ PhD experience.
