Course description

This course is designed to develop and demonstrate knowledge and skills in history-taking, patient examination, communication, clinical reasoning and procedural skills. It consists of four areas: Clinical Coaching, Clinical Communication, Procedural Skills and Professional Behaviour. In Clinical Coaching students are taught the history taking and examination skills integral to medical consultations. Students cover the five major body systems over the year in Clinical Practice 1 & 2. Clinical Communication Skills concentrates on the process of communicating with patients using history taking as the context. A biopsychosocial model underpins the theory that the students learn and then demonstrate. Procedural Skills Workshops provide the opportunity for students to learn and then practise a range of basic procedures. Professional behaviour is expected in all areas of the course.
