Integrating Islamic Value In Medical Teaching Curriculum: IIUM Experience

Training and education is about molding human being. In the context of training and educating of future doctors, medical students are trained to become safe doctors as defined by the learning outcomes of the curriculum. The educator and trainer in whatever designation (teacher, professor, preacher or counselor) are responsible to enhance the mental development of the students or trainees by enhancing their analytical and methodical power, and not trying to make them learnt and memorize all the time. In educating future doctors from the Islamic perspective, it is desirable that students are inculcated with the correct mindset that is in consonant with the Islamic worldview and principles, such as Doctor as an agent of healing and Allah is the Ultimate Healer and Work as ibadah.
