The modular system of medical education is becoming increasingly popular in many universities around the world, including medical universities.

This system involves dividing the curriculum into smaller, more focused modules, each covering a specific topic or study.

The modular system allows students to focus on one topic at a time, helping them better understand and retain the material.

This approach of modular system can be particularly helpful in understanding complex material in medical education, by dividing the curriculum into smaller, more manageable modules, allowing students to fully understand each topic before moving on to the next.

A modular system can help reduce stress and anxiety among students, and lead to better academic performance.

With the division of the medical education program curriculum into smaller modules, medical universities can offer more specialized courses which cover specific topics or emerging areas of medicine

Secretary Health praised the government's initiatives in providing medical education and health services to the poor people of the province. Bolan University of Medical and Health Sciences will provide complete guidelines for the implementation of the modular system.
