Year 3, 4 and 5 are clinical years, where you will spend most of your time on placement.
In year 3 you will undertake five junior clinical placements, each lasting five weeks which will give you a thorough grounding in general medicine and the range of conditions and patients you are likely to encounter through your career.
Year 3 placements include
1) Integrated Medicine
2) Surgery and Peri-operative Care
3) Elderly and Rehabilitation
4) Primary Care
5) Special Senses (Ophthalmology, ENT, Dermatology)
By the end of year 3 you will be able to take a history and examine a patient in a competent, professional manner and relate this to the diversity of patients you have seen in practice. You will be able to integrate clinical skills and knowledge to formulate a basic differential diagnosis and propose a management plan.
Year 4 will focus more on gaining in clinical experience with specialty placements. These placements will include:
1) Gynaecology, Obstetrics and Sexual Health;
2) Paediatrics
3) Psychiatry
4) Cancer and Continuing Care (Oncology and Primary care)
5) Acute and Critical Care (Anaesthetic care, Emergency medicine, acute medical assessment)
This will be with particular regard to the following contexts: surgical and peri-operative care, acute illness, recurrent and chronic illnesses, mental or physical disabilities, rehabilitation, relieving pain and distress and palliative care. You will be expected to be able to synthesise more complex clinical information for the purposes of diagnosis and management. This will involve practice in clinical reasoning, generation of differential diagnoses, making a diagnosis, and deciding appropriate management plans for all common and important conditions.
In Year 5 the course is based primarily around clinical placements supported by lectures, workshops, small group teaching and tutorial sessions, and self-directed learning supported by on-line resources. The placement rotations have been balanced to provide core experience in key clinical areas, with small additional variations in clinical exposure to allow students to tailor the final year to suit their learning needs (e.g. a wish to do more vascular surgery in placement).
Year 5 is now organised to give you the opportunity to rotate only three times, spending 8 weeks in each Trust, and so allowing the opportunity to build relationships with clinical teams. One of these rotations will involve integration of teaching between a primary care and secondary care environment.
