• Begin with the end in mind• Begin with the end in mind• Start with the skills, behaviours and

knowledge required on Day 1 of knowledge required on Day 1 of graduation– Dictated to some extent by RCVS – day 1 y y

competences, also EAEVE requirements

• Work back to Year 4, then years 1 and 2• Basic science teaching is therefore

determined by clinical need

• Facilitated clinical relevance– clinical cases from Year 1 illustrate the importance of the

basic science

• Lectures– signposting

• Practicalst diti l (di ti i bi l ) – traditional (dissection, microbiology)

– clinical – clinical exam, radiography and ultrasound from week 1

• Directed / facilitated learning– tasks and resources provided– encourages independent learning
