Dundee is a distinctive, small and cohesive medical school that is an international centre of excellence in medical education and consistently features at or near the top of UK student surveys and league tables. We have consistently been the top UK school in graduate surveys of preparedness to practice.
Dundee is an excellent place to study medicine because of the high quality teaching programme, University and NHS facilities available and great student community. Problem-orientated, student-centred and case-based, our medical course closely follows recommendations of the latest ‘Tomorrow’s Doctors’ guidance issued by the General Medical Council.
In Dundee you have the opportunity to study medicine in a fully integrated medical school and hospital with extensive teaching and research facilities, which serve academic, educational and clinical needs well. Ninewells Hospital and Medical School is the centre of many areas of cutting edge and pioneering research in areas including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, drug development, and medical education.
You will be part of a caring community providing healthcare for Tayside, Fife, and further afield, and have access to a wide range of excellent facilities. A new library and education teaching facility is currently being built on the Ninewells Hospital site which will further enhance the quality of our teaching. You will use a leading Clinical Skills Centre, have the benefit of resources produced by a vibrant e-learning group and have excellent access to both hospital and community clinical areas from the outset.
teaching and assessment
Dundee Medical School is renowned for leadership and innovation in medical education.
The medical course learning outcomes are those defined in ‘Tomorrow’s Doctors 2009’ namely:
• The doctor as a practitioner • The doctor as a scholar and scientist • The doctor as a professional.
These outcomes underpin the entire curriculum and its assessment and provide a framework for learning.
Approximately 100 core clinical problems provide a vital focus for learning. In years 1- 3 (Systems in Practice) they are used to illustrate key principles and provide a clinical basis to learning the body systems and later in years 4 & 5 (Preparation in Practice) they define the competencies needed by newly qualified doctors.
Clinical experience with direct patient contact is introduced in the first weeks of Year 1. A feature of the curriculum is that you spend at least 10% of your time in the community. This is of value whether your eventual career is to be in General Practice or hospital based.
A state of the art Clinical Skills Centre provides the opportunity to develop the skills of communication, physical examination and practical procedures in a safe environment. Sophisticated models, actors and simulated patients are regularly used.
A recognised and commended feature in the Dundee curriculum is the use of study guides and the virtual learning environment (VLE), with lectures and face to face teaching including small group, ward based and practical activities being supported by a range of e-learning opportunities.
The study guides are designed to support your learning throughout the course and to help you to manage your own learning in each phase of the programme.
