Undergraduate program guide 2014

Medicine

Medicine
Most students choose medicine because they have a fascination with science, a curiosity about the workings of the human body and adesire to help others.
Some applicants may have first-hand experience of illness and that experience has inspired them to practice medicine. Whatever the reason, a career in medicine requires a dedication to life-long learning, a passionate and inquisitive mind, and a compassionate heart. Students will learn amazing things and will be challenged. They will also have the satisfaction of knowing that they can make a difference. Medicine is a highly respected profession and it is a privilege to join the ranks of those who have achieved so much in service to humanity. But, medicine is not an easy career choice. The hours are long and the work will often be emotionally difficult. It requires years of education and preparation before students can achieve the specialist qualification that will allow them to fully practice as a doctor. But, there are many rewards. Medicine offers a lifetime of opportunities with a large variety of career options, both nationally and internationally. Rural Australia depends upon people who live and work outside the city and suburbs, and there are pathways designed for students with an interest in rural practice. Whether a student wants to become a general practitioner or a general surgeon, the University of Adelaide Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program will qualify students to pursue these specialties, and many others, after graduation. The progression of medical knowledge depends upon research, and the University of Adelaide can assist students whose interests lie in becoming a clinical researcher. The MBBS program is designed to help students achieve their specific goals. The medical program at the University of Adelaide is the third oldest in Australia with a long and rich history dating back to 1885. Amongst the Universitys notable alumni are Nobel Prize winners, pioneering researchers and world-renowned doctors. The last three South Australian Rhodes Scholars have been medical students from the University of Adelaide MBBS program. The University has over 125 years of teaching, learning, research and achievements that continue to transform health care in Adelaide and the wider world. Students studying medicine at the University of Adelaide are provided with state-of-the-art education, training, and facilities, to ensure that they are ready to face the challenges of medical practice in the twenty-first century.

The medicine degree at the University of Adelaide provides countless opportunities for its students, whether it be volunteering in developed countries, participating in student societies, undertaking research or teaching other students. Allyou have to do is make the most of them.

medicine

The Clinical Skills and Medical Professional and Personal Development courses begin in Week 1 and assist students to acquire the skills required for effective clinical practice. The clinical practice tutorials in Years 1 and 2 are led by senior clinicians in a state-of-the-art clinical skills facility. In Year 3, clinical skills training is conducted primarily in the public teaching hospitals. Students will then bring this core learning to their clinical placements in Years 46. These placements will be held in a wide range of organisations, including the public teaching hospitals and the broader medical and health community. There are some clinical placements that all students must take, but there are also opportunities for students to choose from a range of electives, including the option of undertaking Year 5 in a rural setting. Year 6 is focused on what students need to know for their internship. The major barrier exam is conducted at the end of Year 5 and, with the pressure of exams reduced, students can focus on their clinical practice and professional development.

Career opportunities
After graduation and before being admitted to full registration as a medical practitioner in Australia, graduates must serve at least twelve months as an intern in an approved hospital. After successfully completing the internship and obtaining full registration to practice, students will need to make a career decision about entering a training program offered by a professional college. There are a wide range of opportunities and students may choose to pursue a career in areas such as general practice, surgery, medicine or public health. They may choose to work in a rural area of Australia, or, as a university clinical academic, they may choose to combine clinical practice with research and education. MBBS graduates from the University of Adelaide are now working in a diverse range of fields or have begun additional study in specialisations such as psychiatry, ophthalmology or paediatrics. Potential career paths will become apparent as you progress through the program.

About the Bachelor of Medicine/ Bachelor of Surgery

The MBBS program consists of three major streams reflecting the core elements of medical practice: 1.  Scientific Basis of Medicine 2.  Clinical Practice 3.  Medical Professional and Personal Development. A major emphasis is placed on professionalism, communication and clinical reasoning, as well as the practice of evidence-based and preventative medicine. Case-based, small-group learning (CBL) is the dominant learning mode during the early years of the curriculum. Learning is structured around clinical cases of the most common and important diseases. Lectures in the medical disciplines such as pathology, anatomy, physiology and pharmacology are carefully staged throughout the CBL cases. In Year 1, students will also undertake two semesters of Fundamentals of Biomedical Science, a course specifically designed for medical students.

State-of-the-art clinical skills facility

The Robin Warren Clinical Skills Laboratory is a $2.5 million facility for medical and nursingstudents. The contemporary and versatile layout, which mirrors the concept of the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, features single-bed mini wards that are fully equipped as if they were real hospital wards. First and second-year medical students use the facility to learn how to talk to patients, take their histories, and develop essential clinical reasoning skills. Students interact with surrogate patientstrained actors posing as patients. Students in later years of the program often return to practice skills inthe laboratory. The clinical skills laboratory is an integral part of teaching, and enables students to practise and learn the fundamentals of medical consulting in a safe and nonthreatening environment.

Bachelor of Medicine/Bachelor of Surgery indicative study plan

Years 13
While these years have traditionally been labelled as pre-clinical years, new educational practices make this term obsolete. Students learning will be stimulated by clinical cases and students will start learning clinical skills and working with surrogate patients from the first week of the program. Students will have access to state-of-the art anatomy, bioskills and clinical skills laboratories. While there are lectures, much learning will occur in small group tutorials. The following three courses form the foundation of the first three years. They provide opportunities to learn the core knowledge that will allow students to advance and fully participate in the clinical attachments offered in Years 46. Clinical Practice: hands-on tutorials in a dedicated clinical skills laboratory, often working with surrogate patients. In Year 3 students undertake a full day of clinical skills study in a hospital setting. When students start their clinical attachments in Year 4, they will already have gained familiarity with hospital protocol. Scientific Basis of Medicine: learning about the science that underpins the practice of medicine. Medical Professional and Personal Practice: professionalism, ethics, communication, leadership: all essential to quality medical practice. Each year level also has additional courses to assist students as they progress through the clinical cases that are core to the Years 13 program.

Years 46
The program in Years 46 is an exciting mix of placements in teaching hospitals and in community settings. Students may choose to take the entire fifth year in a rural area where they can find themselves helping to deliver a baby and then assisting a patient to take up a more healthy lifestyle. The Medical and Scientific Attachments are three-week elective placements that include opportunities to explore speciality areas as diverse as oncology, dermatology, geriatrics, cardiology or gastroenterology. Between Years 5 and 6, there is the prospect of an overseas or interstate attachment. Year 6 focuses on preparing students to undertake their internship year. The timetable in Years 46 may look similar to the one below.

>> Year 1: Fundamentals of Biomedical Science >> Year 2: M  edical Microbiology and
Immunology + elective
