undergraduate study
In recent years there have been radical changes in the way medicine is taught. There has been a greater emphasis on the holistic treatment of patients and on involving patients (and their relatives) in decisions about their treatment and care.
There has also been an increasing recognition of the significance of the team of healthcare professionals, each with their own important but inter-connected roles in diagnosis, care and therapy.
Traditional lecture-based learning is supported by a skills-based and problem-solving approach, with group sessions and strong IT support.
While there will be some lectures, BSMS is a small and personal medical school and our emphasis throughout the degree is on small group academic and clinical teaching.
A wide range of teaching methods is used including problem-based learning, IT-based learning, practical classes in the laboratories and anatomy laboratory, seminars, guided individual study, clinical skills practice and clinical symposia, all supported by regular tutorials.
Individual patient studies, in which you will relate clinical findings and treatment to the underlying clinical and social sciences for your patient portfolio, will develop your understanding of the practice of medicine.
