Medicine (continued)
Third Year Semester 1 of this year deals with the most complex integrative physiological systems (central nervous system and endocrine organs). During semester 2 of this year there will also be a major Student-Selected Component.
Medicine Honours 3 This module continues the strategy of the spiral curriculum by revisiting foundation knowledge and progressing to more complex systems. This module:
• Provides in-depth coverage of normal structure and function of the central nervous system and endocrine systems. The anatomy of the head and neck will be studied by dissection.
•
Introduces diseases and possible therapies pertinent to these important control systems.
• Presents case studies associated with the central nervous system and endocrine systems to highlight appropriate clinical skills for the identification of neurological and endocrinological disorders.
• Utilises audiovisual, literary and theoretical works to integrate ethical issues and behavioural science with clinical medicine.
• Provides hospital attachments.
Medicine Honours 4 (Student-Selected Component) Students will undertake an Honours-level Student-Selected Component (SSC) which will enable students to pursue an area of their own particular interest at an advanced level. SSCs will involve one of the following:
• Scientific research assessed by dissertation and oral presentation.
•
Library project assessed by dissertation and oral presentation.
Bute Medical Society St Andrews has an active Medical Students’ Society and meetings are held regularly during term-time, representing medical and non-medical interests. The social functions of the Society form a highlight of student life and the Bute Ball, Bute Dinner, and other events are always exceptionally well-attended and enjoyed.
Medicine Honours 5 (Applied Medical Science) Knowledge acquired in the earlier parts of the curriculum will be consolidated. This course is taught primarily by clinicians (including Honorary staff) and case studies will be used extensively to direct student learning. This module:
• Reviews clinical anatomy in preparation for clinical training. • Gives students the opportunity to significantly advance their clinical and communication skills in terms of patient examination techniques and associated procedures e.g. venepuncture, intravenous cannulation, bladder catheterisation, rectal digital examination, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, measurement of blood pressure, lumbar puncture.
• Provides opportunities for developing skills relevant to problem-based learning.
Assessment A prescribed level of performance must be achieved each year to ensure normal progression. The award of the BSc (Honours) Medicine degree requires that students possess a comprehensive knowledge of basic medical science and its clinical application, in readiness for the commencement of clinical training.
“I chose to come to St Andrews for three reasons; the atmosphere, the reputation and the course itself. As a St Andrews student you are part of a safe, cohesive, proactive student body that never disappoints; all backed by 600 years of tradition and heritage, which is exactly what I was looking for from my university. Add to that an excellent medicine course that has surpassed all my expectations and there’s nowhere else I’d rather spend three years.”
