The University of Mauritius wishes to develop in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life and University of Geneva a medical school of high quality that will help to improve the health care system of the Republic of Mauritius, by enabling Mauritian authorities to have more control on the quality of medical training of health care manpower. The school of Medicine will be responsive to local needs as well as regional needs (humanitarian aspect) and will attract international students through the quality of its teaching and curricula. The first programme to be developed under the proposed Public School of Medicine is a full-fledged medical undergraduate programme, in English medium, which will involve 3 partners: Faculty of Medicine of University of Geneva (UNIGE), the University of Mauritius (UOM) and the Mauritian Ministry of Health & Quality of Life (MOHQL). The successful completion of a 6 year full-time medical undergraduate programme, in English medium, undertaken in two parts: 3 years full-time for the Bachelor of Medicine followed by 3 years full-time for the Master of Medicine programme will lead to the award of the Doctor of Medicine (Medicine Doctor or MD) degree. The programme will include a research dissertation prepared as from the 4th year and submitted at the end of the 5th year.
