Student related activities
Student Choice Programme
The Student Choice programme is a one-week programme that offers an opportunity for students to engage in any topic of their choice (medical or simulation or surgical topic). Simulation week is one of the most sought-after options where students engage in an immersive learning experience. During this week, they learn to create and deliver simulations, virtual escape rooms and participate in a moulage competition.
Student Societies
Clinical Skills Training
Student societies run extracurricular activities to train their colleagues in different medical skills. They collaborate With Ibn Al-Baitar Centre for Simulation and Experiential Learning to help support their training in physical examination skills as well as procedural skills such as suturing, IV line insertion and CPR training.
Interprofessional Learning (IPL)
The World Health Organization (WHO) stresses the importance of Interprofessional Learning in medical education. Immersive simulations are run between medical and nursing students. This activity prepares them to demonstrate and practice the teamwork and collaborative skills required in healthcare. This is designed to develop the values, ethics, communication, roles and responsibilities required for an interprofessional team.
Future Doctors
RCSI Bahrain introduces high school students to the 'life of a medical student and the 'life of a doctor' by engaging them in a host of on-campus academic and non-academic activities. During this activity students learn how to measure blood pressure, insert IV lines, develop communication skills and participate in immersive simulation where they learn how to manage a critically ill patient as a team.
