In line with its strategic initiative to modernize academic assessment and enhance educational quality, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Sana’a University today conducted midterm and final computer-based examinations for courses in Physiology and Community Medicine. The exams were administered at the university's Electronic Testing Center for students in the Departments of Nursing and Medicine.
Second-year nursing students completed their final examination in Physiology, a foundational course in the nursing curriculum. The course covers the physiological mechanisms and functions of the human body, providing the scientific foundation required for safe, evidence-based clinical nursing practice.
Concurrently, fourth-year medical students sat for their continuous assessment (midterm) examination in Community Medicine. Designed to bridge clinical training with public health principles, this course focuses on epidemiology, disease control, health determinants, and primary healthcare management, equipping future physicians to address community health challenges effectively.
The examinations were administered digitally using a Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) format, replacing traditional paper-based testing. Developed from standardized item banks, the questions were structured to evaluate critical thinking and analytical reasoning beyond basic recall. The sessions were monitored by faculty members and exam committees to ensure academic integrity, objective evaluation, and a quiet, equitable testing environment.
The administration of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences commended the smooth technical execution and organized administration of the exams, highlighting the close coordination that ensured a seamless testing experience for all students.
