Clinical EMS (CEMS) is undertaken during years 3 to 5 of the BVSci programme. It is a requirement of the RCVS that all students complete 26 weeks of placements within the wider profession. CEMS will give you the opportunity to see a wider range of practice across all practice, industry and business types. These placements will support and develop the skills and knowledge you have acquired throughout the degree programme as opportunities in addition to Intra-mural Rotations (IMR).
You will be expected to arrange your own placements however the EMS team will be on hand to assist you if needed. This is an opportunity to really direct your own learning by identifying both areas of interest or areas where you feel you need to develop further skills.
