Module overview

This module provides the students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are necessary to practice in Medicine as a newly qualified doctor. This module builds on earlier Medicine attachments and the Acute Care and Ethics & Law modules.

This module focuses on the knowledge and understanding, practitioner and professional skills required of a newly qualified doctor in General Internal Medicine, and the assessments within this module will focus on these areas.

The BM programmes are however highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are stand alone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole year and programme. The Medicine Module in BM Year FIVE is studied along with 5 other clinical teaching modules in Primary Care, Surgery, a student selected unit, an assistantship module, an elective module; a 6 month long Personal and Professional Development (PPD) module; and an Assessment and ILS module.

The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. In addition, the Year 5 assessment & ILS module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of modules within the programme.

The module will normally take the format of a 7 week placement in one or more partner trusts. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will receive the same broad opportunities sufficient to achieve the learning outcomes of the module and it is expected that students will take responsibility for making the most of the opportunities provided and being pro-active in securing experiences in areas in which they feel they are weak and/or they have had least learning experiences.
