Module description
This module draws on the science of medicine, introducing clinical cases to illustrate the scientific principles via integrated teaching within the framework of the major body systems. It aims to support students make the link between theory and practise, through placements that will also help them identify relevant experience from previous learning and identify their generic competences which they can build on throughout the programme. There will be an initial week of induction, designed to introduce students to the programme and identify relevant experience from previous learning and their generic competencies which they can build on throughout the programme. The module will then be split into blocks of learning: An Introduction To The Science of Medicine block and three Systems In Practise blocks.
