Additional information

Teaching method
This course uses a problem-based learning model.
 
What is Problem-Based Learning?

The main emphasis of problem-based learning (PBL) is on small group working, centred around a ‘problem’ or scenario. These scenarios are hypothetical patient cases.

This integrated approach, centred on PBL, and grounded in a robust scientific understanding, strong clinical knowledge and highly developed communication and clinical reasoning skills, allows you to develop life-long skills that will be crucial to your success as a doctor.

About Three Counties Medical School

At Worcester, you’ll spend much of your time learning medicine in the community alongside patients, as well as studying on campus. You’ll work closely with primary care teams, consultants and allied health professionals during a series of projects and placements – in general practice, outreach clinics, community hospitals and care facilities.

You will of course spend time in hospitals – for example on medical and surgical wards, from specialised cancer treatment centres and psychiatric in-patient units, to labour wards and research laboratories – but from your first weeks as a medical student you will meet patients in general practice and start to join them on their healthcare journey.
