Quality
The Quality Assurance of Basic Medical Education (QABME) framework helps to safeguard standards at Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed Malaysia). Its application is important in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education.
The framework ensures training is monitored, maintained, developed and approved. It also ensures that the right outcomes in new doctors are being met. The QABME process involves evidence-based visits and an annual report from each school.
NUMed Malaysia’s MBBS also meets the UK’s Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) Code of Practice. It is also in alignment with QAA subject benchmarks.
The last QAA review in 2016 commended our management of academic standards and quality of learning. The QAA awarded us a 'judgement of confidence' – the highest rating available.
Quality governance of the programme is also overseen by the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) and the Malaysian Qualifications Agency.
NUMed Malaysia is fully recognised by both the General Medical Council and the MMC. We adopt the published guidance on UK medical education delivered outside the UK available on the General Medical Council website.
