Course Description

This four-year medical degree programme is designed specifically for a very limited number of qualified dentists (who are registered with the UK General Dental Council) wishing to pursue a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The medical curriculum is divided into five phases (see details of the 'transition' year below). The first year comprises Phases 1 and 2. Phase 1 (10 weeks) introduces elements of the programme and provides information and skills necessary to embark on Phase 2 of the programme. Phase 1 is composed of two strands that run concurrently. One strand provides the basic scientific background that underpins the knowledge required for a good understanding of the clinical scenarios in Phase 2, and the other, the Practice of Medicine strand, introduces students to the development of good clinical practice. Phases 3 and 4 (Intensive Patient Contact) focus on clinical training, underpinned by science. Phase 5 (Shadowing Practising Doctors) is vocationally-oriented and includes the opportunity to study abroad for an elective period. Each phase contains elements from the core curriculum, as well as Special Study Components (SSCs), which offer a wide element of student choice. The Student Selected Components (SSCs) are projects and short courses in medical, scientific and non-medical (for example humanities and languages) subjects. You will have considerable freedom in selecting from a wide range of approved modules. In a multi-faculty College such as King's we are very well placed to offer a varied range of SSCs, which can draw widely from the different Schools of the College.
