Course Details

International Graduate Medicine (MBBS4)

Course Description

This four-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme aims to meet the high demand for qualified doctors while enabling graduates of any discipline to pursue 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 lifelong learning and professional development. By using a PBL curriculum, the programme expertly incorporates virtual patients and virtual clinics into the learning process to supplement the more experiential, hands-on clinical practice. In particular, the course provides a strong emphasis on professional and clinical practice with guided support towards the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). The first two years are spent at St George's, University of London, comprising clinical science in Year 1 and transitional clinical practice in Year 2. There will be 15 weeks of clinical attachments during the transitional clinical practice year in hospitals and General (Family) Practices in London and the surrounding areas. These give students a firm grounding for further clinical rotations in the US (US and Canadian citizens) or in the UK and US (other passport holders), and will also allow students to have an insight into the National Health Service (NHS), one of the best healthcare delivery systems in the world. During this year you will also be preparing for the final two years (Years 3 and 4), which are spent in clinical rotations at our partner sites in the US.
