Description for 2022/23


Aims
The module aims to provide the foundation for the student to achieve the GMC Outcomes for Graduates 2018, with the overarching outcome that medical students are tomorrow�s doctors and, in accordance with Good Medical Practice, must make the care of patients their first concern, applying their knowledge and skills in a competent, ethical and professional manner and taking responsibility for their own actions in complex and uncertain situations.
Students will become independent clinical learners:
� Able to extract the relevant clinical data from a clinical situation; symptoms, signs, investigations, treatment and on-going plan.
� Able to analyse the pathophysiology of the patient�s symptoms.
� Able to set up hypotheses regarding the aetiology and maintenance of disease.

Description of Module Assessment

1: Exam weighted 50%
Written Knowledge
Written knowledge is a cumulative assessment based upon 3 x 3hr papers. Each paper is comprised of Single Best Answer (SBA) questions.

2: Objective Structured Skills & Clinical Examination weighted 50%
OSCE
Objective Structured Clinical Examination: `Short cases which require students to examine part of the patient, without taking a history, before reporting their findings. Despite not requiring a history to be taken, students may still be assessed on their communication skills. An objective structured clinical exam (OSCE) is similar to spot assessment and involves a number of stations, each with a different task. Students are given a set time to complete each station, demonstrating a certain skill. OSCEs take place under exam conditions in the presence of an observer who scores a check list� (BMA, 2004).

3: Portfolio weighted 0%
Portfolio and appraisal
Analysis of student progress made since last appraisal. Review of evidence provided to support stated progress. Review of self-identified deficiencies still to be addressed and proposed plans to address them. Discussion of MSF process and findings. Satisfactory engagement with Workplace Based Assessments (WBA).
