This module provides the students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are necessary to practice in Medicine as a newly qualified doctor. This module builds on earlier Medicine attachments and the Acute Care and Ethics & Law modules.

This module focuses on the knowledge and understanding, practitioner and professional skills required of a newly qualified doctor in General Internal Medicine, and the assessments within this module will focus on these areas.
The BM programmes are however highly contextualised and integrated programmes in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through a range of modules none of which are stand alone modules and therefore this module should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole year and programme. The Medicine Module in BM Year FIVE is studied along with 5 other clinical teaching modules in Primary Care, Surgery, a student selected unit, an assistantship module, an elective module; a 6 month long Personal and Professional Development (PPD) module; and an Assessment and ILS module.

The emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from modules studied in earlier years as well as modules studied in that year. In addition, the Year 5 assessment & ILS module has been purposely designed to assess learning outcomes covered in any of modules within the programme.

The module will normally take the format of a 7 week placement in one or more partner trusts. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will receive the same broad opportunities sufficient to achieve the learning outcomes of the module and it is expected that students will take responsibility for making the most of the opportunities provided and being pro-active in securing experiences in areas in which they feel they are weak and/or they have had least learning experiences.

This module provides the students with the opportunity to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes which are necessary to practice in Medicine as a newly qualified doctor. This module builds on earlier learning throughout the programme.

The module will normally take the format of a 6 week placement in one or more partner trusts. The timing will vary for different student groups and the teaching staff will vary for different practices and student groups. As is the nature of clinical placements, the exact learning experiences of each student will be variable however all students will have access to equivalent learning opportunities to achieve the learning outcomes. Students are expected to be pro-active in securing experiences in areas in order to achieve the programme learning outcomes unique to their needs.

This module provides the students with the opportunities to gain clinical experience in General internal and Geriatric Medicine within the ward and outpatient clinic environment. This module builds on earlier learning in the programme.

This module focuses on the obtaining the foundations of knowledge and understanding, practitioner and professional skills required of a newly qualified doctor. These include but are not limited to obtaining a history, including collateral histories, systems examination, understanding investigations and how to initiate a clinical plan for the patient. Students are expected to spend a significant proportion of their time in the clinical environment to learn and perfect these skills in addition to learning about the nuances of effective communication with patients as well as performing common clinical skills e.g., venesection, cannulation, blood pressure recording and ECG lead placement.

Content of these modules will be assessed summatively in the end of year Applied Knowledge Test and CPSA. However, whilst emphasis of the assessments for each of the modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, the integrated nature of the course means that there will be substantial overlap and the assessment of each module will draw upon learning obtained not only from these module but also from early years.

The Medicine and Elderly care Module in BM Year three is studied along with 2 other clinical teaching modules in Primary Care and Long Term Conditions, Surgery and Orthopaedics and 2 Assessment modules (Applied Knowledge Assessment and CPSA).

The MiP2 course builds on the communication and history taking skills introduced in MiP1 ,to further develop and expand the clinical history . The module also teaches the physical examination of all the major systems , using a variety of methods including working with patients , simulated patients , anatomical models and students themselves.
GP
Students spend an afternoon every 3 weeks with a GP tutor, usually in a GP practice and 2 sessions on campus also with a GP facilitator. They are facilitated in small groups by the GP teacher who remains with the same group throughout the year.
Hospital
Students also spend 3-4 afternoons per year in small groups /one to one with clinical teachers at Southampton General Hospital.
Health Care Support Work
To gain experience of interacting with patients and of working in a multidisciplinary team setting in the hospital, students are placed on wards to work two long shifts as Healthcare Support Workers ( HCSWs) as part of the nursing team. Those with appropriate prior experience in acute NHS environments will be offered the opportunity to facilitate tutorials with their peers instead of undertaking the shifts
Details of these placements will be provided further on Blackboard

To pass the module all End of Placement forms and required submissions must be uploaded by the given deadline on Blackboard. The module also incorpotates a requirement to attend a formative OSCE assessment.

The BM4 course in years 1 and 2 is a highly contextualised and integrated course in which the application of knowledge and understanding, clinical skills and professional practice applicable to medicine are learned through clinical topic weeks in the first 18 months of the course and then this learning is put into practice in the remaining 6 months of the second year during clinical placements. This module focuses on the application of this learning in clinical context during placements in medicine, surgery and primary care and the assessment relates predominantly to this. This is not a stand-alone module and should be recognised by teachers and students alike as part of the whole course which is achieved by this module alongside the other modules – Clinical Medicine 1 & 2, Integration of Knowledge and Clinical Medicine 1 & 2 and Foundations of Medicine 1 & 2. The emphasis of the assessments for each of these modules aligns with the focus of learning for that module, however the integrated nature of the course means that there will undoubtedly be overlap and aspects of the assessment in each module will draw upon learning from all course modules. Since this module allows students to practise their clinical skills, it will also particularly overlap with the learning and OSCE assessment of Clinical Medicine 2.

Further details will be provided on Blackboard.
