    Learning Outcomes

    The Advanced Learning in Medicine (ALM) curriculum builds on Years 2 and 3 of the MB ChB programme by greater application of the theoretical learning of ELM training to clinical settings. There is an important transition from work as a student to work as a health professional. Students spend 75% of their time learning in clinical environments, with supplementary lectures and tutorials.

    Specific skills include:

    • Skills in working with patients and within a clinical team
    • Attitudes concomitant with professional and ethical patient-centred conduct
    • Independent thinking
    • Research-informed, lifelong learning
