MEDIC ST 1105 - MBBS Year 1 Summer Course

North Terrace Campus - Summer - 2018

The MBBS curriculum for the first three years is structured into three domains presented as three separate courses: the scientific basis of medicine (SBM); clinical practice (CP) and medical professional and personal development (MPPD). The curriculum is fully integrated across these three domains and the spiral nature of the curriculum means that knowledge, skills and attitudes are revisited and built upon at each year level. MBBS year 1 summer school course is available for students who have achieved a pass in first year examination course, fundamentals of biomedical Science and two of the three domains (SBM, CP, MPPD) in the current academic year and have attended and completed core structured learning activities of the failed domain. The remedial course will allow students the opportunity to achieve the required competencies for year 1 by targeting specific areas of weakness within the relevant failed domain.

    2. Develop clinical reasoning skills through the practice of clinical reasoning and the application of integrated knowledge.

    3. Identify gross and surface anatomical, histological, microbiological and macroscopic and microscopic pathological features.

    4. Develop competence in case-based learning (CBL) processes, including the integration of knowledge across disciplines.

    5. Identify the behaviours, characteristics and communications skills of a doctor that would promote an effective doctor patient relationship.

    6. Develop the clinical interviewing skills required to elicit and record a clinical history and to perform a physical examination.

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.
