Operation of the FMSB

The FMSB is tied to the LMD system according to a semester framework of 30 credits with UEs grouped into fundamental UEs of 14 credits, transversal UEs of 6 credits and internship of 4 credits. The credit being the workload (CM, TP, TD, TPE, internship, …) allocated to the teaching of a teaching unit for its validation by the student. NB; the implementation of this system is done by teachers and other permanent, temporary and missionary health professionals.

The training of our students is done in the amphitheatres but also and above all by the so-called hospital and community internships after prospecting by the teachers of the FMSB in priority in the three regions of the Far North of the country. Supervision during the internships is done by health professionals from the said Centers in conjunction with the FMSB, which provides mid-term supervision. The student who goes on an internship knows the activities to be carried out, has an evaluation sheet and must have a notepad or internship notebook (real objective witness of the effective participation of the student in the internship).

Evaluations at the FMSB, there are two exam sessions at the end of the semester (normal session and remedial session), there are also evaluations through the CC (Continuous control), the TD / TP (Tutorials / practical work) and the TPE (personal work (time) of the student).

For internships, they are done through the activity booklet or frame of reference, the evaluation sheet, the supervised follow-up (supervision) at mid-term, the internship notebook and the internship report.
