This subject is designed as a single year-long subject which builds on the content of the first four years of the MBBS and on MD5101 to achieve a high level of integration between the basic medical sciences and the knowledge, skills and attitudes required for clinical health care. It will be spent in five eight-week rotations in various clinical health care settings. Students enrolled in honours will undertake an additional task that comprises a detailed exploration of a selected clinical issue based on patients encountered during the clinical rotations within the academic year. Students will be required to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of how basic medical and social sciences impact on clinical medical care and to identify potential research questions.
Learning Objectives:
Assessment by a summative concise written report task for each clinical rotation (20%); the additional task will comprise a continuation of the project undertaken in MD5101 , a project based on a clinical case or a series of clinical cases that illustrate an appropriate theme concerning the integration of basic and clinical medical sciences. Written project report (two assessors) (80%); exit seminar (20%). The grading of Honours will be based on a combination of scores in clinical assessment and for the additional task.
