As part of the development of its Continuing Professional Training programs, the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis is pleased to inform you of the implementation of the Masterclass as a new postgraduate training model.
Masterclasses must include an in-person time slot of at least 15 hours.
A volume of hours, in distance, could be considered. The Masterclasses will have to prioritize innovation and practical training.
The Masterclass is coordinated by a single teacher. A co-coordination can be envisaged for the interdisciplinary Masterclasses with a maximum of two co-coordinators.
The coordinators must be affiliated with the FMT and be of rank A.

Themes of a Masterclass:
MASTERCLASS projects can cover one or more of the following themes
:

  • A transversal training on a theme that is interesting for several specialties
  • A sub-specialized training on a theme interesting to one or more specialties
  • Training responding to an imminent public health need of interest in one or more specialties

Target audience:

The Masterclasses organized under the aegis of the FMT are mainly of interest to practicing physicians and medical residents.

Masterclasses are organized in two sessions spread over the academic year. Masterclass projects must be submitted to the FMT order office according to the following schedule:

  • Submission of files between 05 and 31 January for the session ‘March – June’
  • Submission of files between 01 and 31 May for the session ‘September – November’

The Masterclass project file must include at least the following documents:

  • The possible provisional budget of the training.

The DPC service can be assisted by ad-hoc committees for the study of Masterclass projects.
The definitive acceptance of the Masterclass projects is due to the Dean on a proposal from the DPC service.
