MEDIC ST 2105 - MBBS Year 2 Summer Course

North Terrace Campus - Summer - 2018

The MBBS curriculum for the first three years is structured into three domains presented as three separate courses: the scientific basis of medicine (SBM); clinical practice (CP) and medical professional and personal development (MPPD). The curriculum is fully integrated across these three domains and the spiral nature of the curriculum means that knowledge, skills and attitudes are revisited and built upon at each year level. MBBS year 2 summer school course is available for students who have achieved a pass or NGP in second year exam course, medical microbiology and Immunology II and two of the three domains (SBM, CP, MPPD) in the current academic year and have attended and completed core structured learning activities of the failed domain. The remedial course will allow students the opportunity to achieve the required competencies for year 2 by targeting specific areas of weakness within the relevant failed domain.

Learning & Teaching Activities

Learning & Teaching Modes

This student-targeted course contains content will specifically focus on addressing area(s) of weakness identified within the failed course. This may include History Taking (HT), Physical Examination (PE), the relationship between HT and PE; self-directed research and/or study, case presentations, and critical analysis, case based learning, discussion, role play with students and simulated patients, brainstorming and
patient interviewing.

Workload

The information below is provided as a guide to assist students in engaging appropriately with the course requirements.

In this course, the standard total student workload for 6 units is 24 hours a week. The development of time management skills is important for
future medical practice. Students are expected to develop study skills and allocate time to self-directed learning.

Learning Activities Summary

Both structured and self-directed learning activities will be included in this course. The curriculum is fully integrated across the domains of
the scientific basis of medicine (SBM); clinical practice (CP) and medical professional and personal development (MPPD). The spiral nature
of the curriculum means that knowledge, skills and attitudes will be revisited. This remedial course will allow students the opportunity to
achieve the required competencies for year 2 by targeting specific areas of weakness within the relevant failed domain.

Specific Course Requirements

Students must meet the requirements set out in the letter of offer. It is an MBBS entry requirement to obtain a valid first
aid certificate. As a medical student you will be registered with the Medical Board of Australia. All commencing students in Medicine, Dentistry, Oral Health and Nursing will be required to obtain a satisfactory criminal history clearance (CHC). Information on acquiring the clearance is outlined in the letter of offer.

Small Group Discovery Experience

The predominant learning method for the MBBS Program is small group discovery learning.

The University's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Assessment must maintain academic standards.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 成人大片 is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 成人大片 therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
