Program Description

Based on a patient-centred approach, this course is designed around common and important clinical conditions. It relates clinical medicine to the underlying medical sciences. Aspiring doctors have the opportunity to develop their clinical competencies from the very start.

This course includes clinical teaching on wards in hospitals, clinics (both in general practice and in hospitals), lectures, seminars, tutorials, small group work, dissection, and personal development supported by experienced teachers and personal academic tutors. The faculty aims to ensure that students are well prepared for a career in medicine.

The medical course at The University of Sheffield offers a broadly-based, but extensive, education and training incorporating the recommendations of the General Medical Council's report Outcomes for Graduates. The course leads to the professional qualification of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB).

Our MBChB programme has been designed to educate and train students to develop the clinical abilities, knowledge, attitudes and professional behaviours needed to become a junior hospital doctor. This preparation will also prepare students for their continued professional development after graduation.
