The Early Learning in Medicine (ELM) programme (years 2 and 3) continues the medical science learning that began in Health Sciences First Year (Medical Science modules) while introducing students to patients, their communities and their points of view (early professional experience, integrated cases and clinical skills modules). The learning emphasis in ELM is active and collaborative; integrated; and contextually and community based.
