The teaching skills

The skills and ways we were taught was very good and practical.Even in universities we the students must put in 90% of the work(studying) but i think the lectures have made it very simple for me and actually 50% from me would even be more than enough.So the teaching skills are one of the most positive things about the school

my experience so far

before coming to KSMU back in 2018 i had so many doudts about studying medicine. i wondered what my life would be like studying medicine (was I good enough? will I succeed in medicine? etc). 6 years down the road and i can say i made the best decision to come to KSMU. i have had some of the best professors teach and guide me over the years. the study environment is of standard (lab, anatomy museum, clinical stimulation center, hospital classes etc), participation in clinical research and conferences, i have the best groupmates ever, i have made good friends here. i am truly blessed and oppourtuned to be studying here.
