Medical Science and Clinical Practice

Medical Science & Clinical Practice is a new innovative, multi-disciplinary course which is designed to encourage students from a wide range of different backgrounds to pursue a career in Medicine or one of the many Healthcare related disciplines.
The course itself has a strong clinical focus and uses case-based learning and team-based learning to develop transferable skills, alongside traditional academic skills, with an emphasis on disease processes, pathology, anatomy and physiology and evidence based medicine. The course structure mirrors the MChB curriculum, and has been designed in partnership with the University of Birmingham Medical School. During this course, students will be exposed to a wide range of healthcare professionals from the start, with integrated placement opportunities built into the curriculum: these range from time spent with general practitioners and nurses to shadowing the work of consultants and clinical scientists, all of whom play a crucial role in keeping healthcare services running. The University of Wolverhampton brands itself as” The University of Opportunity”, and this course specifically fits with our widening participation agenda, and aims to increase the range of future career options for students from under-represented groups: The workforce of the future will depend upon such individuals and this course provides the ideal opportunity for our students to become reflective, effective and highly knowledgeable practitioners in their chosen field of healthcare, who are capable of meeting the needs to their communities.
