Medical education
Dr. Bushra's virtual ward rounds:
Dr. Bushra was a pioneer in internal medicine and a lover of knowledge, truly embodying his name.
In our effort to continue his approach, the idea of the virtual rounds emerged, carrying his legacy.
This is a specialised medical education project organised by the Dr Bushra Ibn Auf Endowments Initiative in cooperation with the Khartoum Medical Students' Association (KMSA). It aims to teach clinical skills to final-year medical students at the University of Khartoum.

Sudan Tropical Exchange Program (STEP):
Since it was opened in 1924, as the Kitchener Medical School, The Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum, has been known as a Centre of excellence and a pioneer institute in Sudan and the region. It’s in the mission of the faculty to continue to provide education that aims at scientific excellence, professionalism, and social responsibility.

In 2010, the project was voted as IFMSA best medical students’ project worldwide, and it continues to be a leading project globally. Now that it is becoming a destination for granted knowledge about tropical illnesses and related topics, continuous improvement and quality promotion of the project are central. The scientific component is a priority, and this syllabus design is intended to set the benchmarks and grounds for the academic and research activities of the program
