KEY BENEFITS:

• The key benefits of the program are:
  • Integration of medical science with clinical teaching throughout with focus on learning in close contact with patients
  • Partner hospitals include Guy’s, King’s College and St Thomas’ Hospitals – three of the most renowned and busiest teaching hospitals in London.
  • Students benefit from clinical placements at district general hospitals located across the south east of England and over 350 general practices.
  • Learn from some of the world’s most influential clinicians and scientists, who are global leaders in life sciences and medical research.
  • A multi-faculty university giving you access to a breadth of non-core subjects including humanities and social sciences.
  • Twinned with leading medical schools around the world, providing opportunities for clinical exchanges during your elective module.
  • Accredited by the General Medical Council (GMC), this Primary Medical Qualification entitles the holder to apply to the GMC for registration to practise medicine in the UK.

COURSE STRUCTURE:

• The course is divided into three ‘Stages’ with an optional intercalation year between Stages 2 and 3.
• Although they offer four entry routes into Medicine, all the students follow the same core MBBS curriculum. ​
• Stage 1 provides you with a foundation in biomedical sciences and population sciences, along with the skills to begin to integrate them with clinical practice.
• Stage 2 brings together science and clinical practice in blocks organised around the human life-cycle and common pathological processes.
• It focuses on the care of patients with common conditions in a range of clinical settings.
• You will also follow patients for prolonged periods of time to learn how to deliver whole-person care. This stage is underpinned by study in biomedical and population sciences.
• Stage 3 is oriented towards future practice, and includes the opportunity to undertake elective study abroad.
• You will also conduct quality improvement projects and develop skills to transform patient and population health at home and abroad.
• Inter-professional training and increasingly realistic simulation are important parts of the curriculum.
• The intercalated degree is a one-year BSc course which gives you the opportunity to study the subjects of your choice in greater depth across King’s and the university’s clinical partners.
• The intercalated BSc is an optional requirement on the A100 programme and is taken between Year 3 and Year 4.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT :

We will provide you with high-level teaching from experts, which you will put into practice on your placements.
