Course summary

Overview The Norwich Medical School Graduate Entry MB BS Medicine course offers an exciting and innovative four-year pathway to becoming a doctor. Incorporating the latest medical educational techniques, our dynamic course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in your future medical career and emerge as a leading doctor.  You’ll be taught through a combination of interactive face-to-face sessions, carefully curated online resources, and small group work. Our spiral curriculum ensures you encounter key material multiple times, reinforcing and deepening your learning throughout the course. From the very beginning of your studies and throughout the course, you’ll spend time with patients. Key innovative clinical placements are undertaking Healthcare Assistant (HCA) training and placement in your first year, which will introduce you to patient-centred care and interprofessional learning and practice. It’ll also allow you to join the HCA staff bank throughout your course. In addition, in your third year, you’ll undertake a transformative 20-week longitudinal integrated clerkship placement, where you’ll be embedded within a General Practice. This opportunity allows you to follow a cohort of patients and gain a profound understanding of the factors influencing their health and interact with wider healthcare communities such as local charitable organisations.  Placements are strategically located at three hubs across Norfolk and Waveney (Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn, and Norwich), ensuring you become deeply embedded in the community. This approach not only enhances your direct patient care experience but also involves you in quality improvement projects aimed at elevating local healthcare. It’s envisaged that students will spend their first year mainly on-campus and then spend one year at each hub. However, during the admissions process, we’ll work with you to determine your placement hub placements, according to your personal needs.  Disclaimer Course details are subject to change.
