This six-year programme aims to meet the high demand for qualified doctors by offering a combined bachelor's and medical degree programme for those with A-level or equivalent qualifications wishing to progress directly into medical training. This programme is ideal for those graduating from high school in order to follow a medical career. The aim of the programme is to produce medical graduates with the essential knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes required to practise medicine competently and professionally in a patient-centred, multi-professional environment, and to equip you for a career of life-long learning and professional development. This is a truly innovative programme with a strong focus on interprofessional training and clinical placements right from the start. The curriculum provides an emphasis on professional and clinical practice with guided support towards the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Additionally, the programme makes innovative use of virtual patients and virtual clinics to supplement the more experiential, hands-on clinical practice. The first four years are based at St George's, University of London. This comprises clinical science in Years 1 and 2 utilising a Case Based Learning curriculum, supplemented by lectures and small group learning. In Year 3 you transition into clinical practice with a Problem Based Learning curriculum, representing a shift in emphasis from structured to self-directed learning.
