    Paper Structure

    The paper consists of a single module that covers a single therapeutic area for the whole semester. Students can choose one of the available therapeutic areas. The availability of therapeutic areas will depend on availability of specialised teaching staff and student demand.

    All therapeutic areas will follow a modular component and run over the same duration of time. While the content and clinical assessment skills will differ between areas, the generic learning activities and learning outcomes, for example communication skills, care planning and decision-making skills will be consistent developed and evaluated across therapeutic areas.
