Course description
This is a 16-unit, year-long course that focusses on the foundational knowledge, skills and attributes that underpin modern medical practice and on your development into effective, culturally capable, compassionate, and kind clinicians. This fully integrated course enables you to understand the responsibilities of doctors in society and within the healthcare system, learn the foundational biomedical and clinical sciences, and social and human sciences, as well as develop the foundational skills for clinical practice. The course learning outcomes and experiences are built on the six key themes/roles of a doctor: Advocate for Health Improvement, Critical Thinker, Scientist and Scholar, Dynamic Learner and Educator, Kind and Compassionate Professional, Partner and Team Player, and Safe and Effective Clinician.
