The medical programme is six years in duration, leading to the award of the MBChB.
There are four distinct phases in the medical curriculum, each with a particular
curricular emphasis:
Phase
|
Year
|
Curriculum emphasis
|
|
Phase A |
Year 1 |
Health Sciences Foundation |
|
Phase 1 |
Year 2 and 3 |
Fundamentals of Clinical Practice |
|
Phase 2 |
Year 4 and 5 |
Clinical Practice in Context |
|
Phase 3 |
Year 6 / Trainee intern |
Preparation for workplace |
Each phase builds on the one before it, covering clinically-related topics at an
increasing level of difficulty and in more complex contexts. As the curriculum organisation
becomes more explicit to both students and teachers, students will be increasingly
expected to take responsibility for the revisiting of basic clinical sciences and
skills learned earlier in the programme.
