| Course Description |
This course is designed to immerse students in a clinical environment and to introduce them to the practice of Medicine, Surgery, Community Medicine and Child health.
Placements of up to 8 weeks are available (depending on availability) in the following areas:
The emphasis is on self-directed, experiential learning and deep involvement in the day to day care of their patients. Students will have clear requirements for attendance, patient clerking and unit involvement. The placements will allow them practice in the synthesis of information and the development of concise management plans for their patients. Please note that although placements are available in December and January, there are no academic activities at the School of Clinical Medicine or within its teaching hospitals during that period, due to student vacation time and Christmas/New Year summer holidays when many wards and departments are downgraded, outpatient clinics closed or minimised and surgical sessions limited |
