Abstract

The number of students enrolling to medical schools in Libya has increased enormously in the last few years. With this increase, the methods of delivering the medical knowledge and to test the ability of students gaining and keeping this vast amount of information has become somewhat difficult. In this short report, I would like to discuss some of the negative issues that I have observed in relation to oral exams (viva) in the pre-clinical years of our medical school in Tripoli.
