About MB ChB Medicine The course is divided into three phases: In phase one, you meet patients and learn general principles underlying behavioural and basic medical science. In phase two, you learn about body systems and, in year three, undertake full-time clinical attachments. In phase three, you begin clinical training. Between years two and three, you may undertake an intercalated degree in a medical science or humanities subject. Visit our Medical School website for more information about intercalating at Bristol. Initially, you are taught in lectures, practicals and small-group tutorials. Anatomy teaching takes place using dissected cadaveric material; dissection is optional. In later years, you learn in clinical attachments. Periods of elective study and student-selected components allow you to explore areas of personal interest. Mixed-format examinations determine progression to the next year. Outstanding achievement is recognised by the award of the MB ChB degree with Honours. Health and conduct Certain health conditions may be incompatible with careers in some branches of medicine. If you have a chronic health problem, you should contact the Admissions Office for guidance on making an application. Medical students must complete a health questionnaire and undergo a medical examination. Non-immune students must be immunised against hepatitis B and tuberculosis. In accordance with General Medical Council guidelines, medical students must undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check in line with other UK health-related courses.
