evaluation study of 4 medical schools in Khartoum including ours done by Sudan Medical

council and two international experts of Medical Education Prof. Janet hon. professor of

Medical Education UCL London and Prof. Jack Boulet of the foundation for Advancement of

International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER), the study concluded on the

following:

a) The development of a well-managed, socially accountable approach to medical

education


18

b) Modification of current standards for medical education to reflect on the above-

mentioned statement

c) Improvement of local and national quality assurance (QA) and accreditation systems

d) The advancement and evaluation of new curricula

e) Sudan Medical Council (SMC) development of guidelines to meet the new standards

f) Detail the assessment systems that are currently in place

Contribution to Accreditation of the Faculty of Medicine, University of

Khartoum:

Participation as a leader and head of the accreditation committee that has finally resulted

in the accreditation of the medical school by Sudan medical council (SMC) guided by the

parameters which are indicated in the revised World Federation of Medical Education

Global Standards for quality improvement in basic medical education

The process of accreditation included series of workshops, meetings and activities:

a) Advocacy workshops to the academic staff, administrative staff, students and

stakeholders

b) Establishment of the Self-Study Committee

Abiding by the Guidelines of the world Federation of Medical Education which are

included in the byelaws of Sudan Medical council (Accrediting body), nine

subcommittees were established, each subcommittee addressed one of the nine domains

required for accreditation which are (Mission And Outcome, Educational Programme,

Assessment Of Students, Students, Academic Staff/Faculty, Educational Resources,

Programme Evaluation, Governance & Administration, and Continuous Renewal).

SMC standards (basic and the quality development) based on WFME and national

standards of Ministry of Higher Education and Research (MoHE&R), were adopted.

c) After a rigorous evaluation process by an independent panel of assessors in the presence

of a high delegate from WFME, our college successfully achieved accreditation as the

first medical school in Africa on 29th /May 2018

d) SMC was the first body in Africa and the Middle East and the ninth internationally

which had been accredited as an accrediting body for Sudan Medical Schools (see the

website of WFME).
