Year 3
Split in to 2 modules
NME – Nutrition, Metabolism and Excretion
HLB – Heart, Lungs and Blood
Each module last for 14 weeks and is split in to two 7 week blocks.
During each 7 week block you will be attached to a firm with your PBL group.
Half way through the year you will swap modules and change PBL
groups
What is a firm?• All this means is that your PBL group, of about 6-8 students, will be placed under a consultant who will organise your teaching.
• Each firm lasts for 7 weeks.
• You will have a firm ward where some bedside teaching will take place but you will also have seminars and lectures.
• Teaching may be carried out by the consultant or by other doctors on their team.
• You will also have:Time to spend on your base ward or firm wardSigns-upsSkills teaching from the skills tutorsCommunity days at GP surgeries.
Please look in your handouts for a ‘Week on a Firm’ to see what we experienced!
Base Wards•As well as a firm ward you will also be allocated a base ward.
•Your base ward will become a ward where you can go to practice your skills, take histories from patients, practice examinations and generally get used to being part of the team on a hospital ward.
•This is something that was initiated for the first time last year and it can be a brilliant experience!
