The Personal and Professional Development Programme (PPD) was introduced to promote personal and professional attributes in the undergraduates of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Sabaragamuwa. This programme extends from Semester 1 to 10 of the MBBS course

The PPD will be guided by the Faculty’s Vision, Mission, Values, and Aims. The Faculty will deliver the content using a blended learning approach that includes lectures, reading material, and online resources made available on the Faculty’s Learning Management System (LMS). These are mainly appropriate to learn declarative knowledge (i.e. facts or information that is stored in memory such as descriptions, concepts or events). The more procedural knowledge (i.e. practical knowledge) will be through assignments, small group discussions (SGDs), simulation sessions, and seminars. These will be supplemented by activities in the context of a professional setting (e.g., wards or community).
