Abstract
KIST Medical College follows the curriculum of the Institute of Medicine, Tribhuvan University. The programme aims to produce socially responsible and competent physicians who are willing and able to meet the existing and emerging challenges of the national and international healthcare system. The first cohort of undergraduate medical students (MBBS) students was admitted in November 2008 and three cohorts including the one admitted in 2008 have been admitted at the time of writing. The basic science subjects are taught in an integrated, organ-system-based manner with community medicine during the first two years. I was appointed as the MBBS Phase I programme coordinator in September 2008 and in this article I share my experiences of running the basic sciences programme and also offer suggestions for running an efficient academic programme. The manuscript will be of special interest to readers running undergraduate medical programmes. The reader can understand our experiences in running the programme in adverse circumstances, learning to achieve greater integration among basic science, community medicine and clinical departments, obtain information about a community diagnosis programme and know about running special modules on the medical humanities and pharmaceutical promotion.
