Abstract
The implementation of Personal Enrichment Competency (PEC) modules in medical education curricula should be recognized as an initiative that is geared towards developing students’ multifaceted skills and assets which would be required in modern medical practice. PEC modules will be implemented using an integrated approach which suggests putting content in different subjects and making the PEC concepts part of both medical and health science courses for students to have experiential learning experiences. Emphasis is put on strategies that motivate active learning, involving, for example, interactive lectures, case-based discussions, role-playing activities, games and project tasks, to generate engagement and comprehension of key competencies. Disciplines from the same healthcare but from various programs have an opportunity to share ideas through the multidisciplinary teams which develops teamwork, communication, and respect for diverse perspectives within institutions. The continuous assessment and improvement make sure that the PEC modules are always up to date, problem-solving as well as answering the ever-changing requirements of the healthcare field. Institutions can achieve this goal through regular feedback mechanisms and assessment of students' knowledge and skills data, which will help them find limitations in the PEC programs and improve their modules to make them work well in the field of modern medical practice. Lastly, incorporating PEC modules into the curriculum helps students gain the advanced skills of teamwork, leadership, communication, ethics and values in healthcare. Overall, they are well equipped to excel in the delivery of patient-centred care in different clinical settings after their training. Such a study gives essential findings to medical education resources who are striving to improve their curricula to be able to upskill future healthcare professionals to embrace the demands of current medical practice.
