CLINICAL MEDICINE

The philosophy of the NTA Clinical Medicine program  is to provide a well-developed ‘stairway’ into technical education that opens the possibility for moving around and within the NTA qualification framework and receive appropriate recognition, which is currently limited. It is thus intended for producing creative, innovative and flexible graduates who will contribute in the national development schemes in the health sector by utilizing their competences in the community.

In particular, the Clinical Medicine Programs prepare students to become practitioners of medicine, and to aid and participate in treatment of patients. Furthermore, our graduates are given great preparation to continue and pursue Medical Doctorate (MD) and Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programs. Since the inception of our program, a number of our students have chosen to pursue further education and have become fully-licensed medical doctors with thriving careers.
