The keys to the Selayang campus were officially handed to our faculty on the 21st January 2010. Year 3 students and research activities moved to Sungai Buloh campus. However, pre-clinical teaching was still conducted at Shah Alam. The pre-clinical teaching involves anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and general pathology lectures and seminars.
