Welcome to the Department of Medical Education (DoME)
The Department of Medical Education (DoME), Faculty of Medicine, UiTM, provides support for medical education activities, including teaching & learning, service provision, research, innovation, and staff career development. Its activities include undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as continuing professional development, in line with advances in digital technology. The department has 4 units, namely the Curriculum & Assessment Unit (C&A), the Faculty Development Unit, the Clinical Simulation Centre (CSC), and the Research, Innovation and Technology Unit. We motivate and drive research in medical education and promote collaborations either locally, nationally or internationally.
