This provides a broad based, multidisciplinary teaching and learning environment in preparation for their future as doctors. From September 2002 onwards The fundamental difference between the present course and the one to commence in 2002 is that pre clinical teachers will be involved in clinical course teaching and vice versa to integrate knowledge gleaned in the earlier years of the course more formally with the holistic care of the patient population. Fifteen weeks will be devoted to obstetrics, gynaecology and communicable diseases. This will comprise an introductory week of lectures, small group teaching and clinical skills teaching, a mid course week of similar teaching in other areas of the subjects with discussion groups covering the ethical issues involved, and a final week for study and assesment. Eight weeks of clinical attachment will be divided equally between the teaching hospital campus and a district general hospital.
Log books are to be continued in order to record activities,appraise and grade the students.
In addition to an MCQ and OSCE there will be short answer questions in the final week. The student's overall grade will amalgamate a grade in each area of study and from each professional group involved in teaching. In each case a grade is given for attendance, knowledge, communication skills and practical ability. Heulwen Morgan Departmental Undergraduate Education Tutor.
