Professional Training Programs

What are “Professional Training Programs”?

Professional training programs are advanced training programs in clinical and practical skills. They differ in content, objectives and educational outputs from academic degrees awarded by the university. They are offered by medical departments or units in collaboration within the Faculty of Medicine, as well as with partners inside and outside Cairo University.

Professional training programs focus on practical or clinical applications, in order to satisfy the “Continuous Professional Development” needs of practicing physicians. They include a system of continuous and comprehensive evaluation. The knowledge-based content does not exceed 25% of the total awarded points.

The duration of a professional training program is between 6 and 24 months, and with successful completion of the training, the participant is awarded a professional training certificate equivalent to 30-120 credit points.
