At Nottingham, well help you gain the clinical skills, knowledge and confidence to lead people through some of life’s most significant times.<br/><br/>**The early years**<br/><br/>You’ll develop an understanding of the scientific and professional basics of medicine. Youll be taught subjects based on clinically relevant topics and patient examples. Areas of study will include, but are not limited to: respiratory, cardiovascular, cancer, musculoskeletal systems, gastrointestinal medicine, renal, endocrine, reproduction, and Central Nervous System.<br/><br/>From year one, topics studied in lectures, seminars, clinical skills, and anatomy suites are supplemented by patient interactions in hospitals or primary care settings. This part culminates in a research project and will see you graduate with a BMedSci degree after year three. <br/><br/>Youll be taught by experienced clinicians and tutors, research a topic from a broad selection of specialisms and benefit from being part of our Medical School, based at one of the UK’s busiest hospitals – the Queens Medical Centre. Located just across the road from University Park Campus, meaning you’ll not only be part of our Medical School but also university life.<br/><br/>**The later years**<br/><br/>Also called the Clinical Phase, is where you’ll undertake a series of immersive placements at hospitals and GP surgeries. You’ll cover a range of specialties and experience medicine in different care settings, giving you a broad understanding and experience of how differently the NHS functions and cares for patients. At the end of the course, you will graduate with a BMBS, enabling you to work as a doctor on the UK Foundation Programme after you graduate. <br/><br/>Our in-depth but highly rewarding course provides you with an excellent start on your journey to becoming a doctor.
