MBBS 1 and 2

Integrated basic science curriculum, 1st and 2nd years
The integrated basic sciences curriculum in years 1+2 tries to encourage students with regular sessions of clinical experience. Students will be split into groups of 8 and will come 2-3 times a year to the wards for some bedside ‘clinical experience’. These sessions should last about an hour, and are held on Tuesday afternoons (starting 2pm). We should concentrate on:

  1. Introduce the concept of a systematic examination – inspection / palpation / percussion / auscultation
  2. The opportunity to see basic clinical signs which they can link to their basic sciences e.g. a large spleen and haemolysis, or in drawing and chest compliance

The aim of these sessions are NOT to teach them how to take a history and perform a full examination – each student only gets 2 sessions per year!
