OMAN MEDICAL COLLEGE
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Operational Plan
The operational plan has two types of endeavors, viz, Projects and Activities.
Projects represent a time-bound outcome through a structured and goal-oriented
programme. It always connects to a fixed timeframe. The projects are subject to full
review on its completion although it undergoes a practice of partial review on
implementation. Every project has a leader assisted by a subcommittee of the faculty
or and administrative staff. Projects may or may not be complete in itself. Sometime
it may span another set of activities as its byproducts.
Activities are open ended and therefore it never completes. However it also
undergoes the same process of review.

Note:
There can be two models, viz, OMC Sohar model and OMC Baushar model. This postulate was
circulated among the faculty of all departments and solid comments were received. Though they
differ in the details they are unanimous on the following points.
 Training on research methodology should be made mandatory in the curriculum with appropriate
credit.
 There should be medical student research programme for the students in the summer of every year.
 It must be properly institutionalized without prejudice to the interest of the ordinary students who
do not have interest in research.
 The students enrolled should be given stipend and encouraged to present papers.
 The programme provides students with three 8 – 12 week period for research over 3 years
 The students who participate in MSRP must be given extra credit.
 Award extra credits to the students for their participation in research.
 The existing provision of research at the undergraduate level with 2 credits may be enhanced to 3
credits to provide significant space for research.
