The course builds on the process of diagnosis and management through, clinical communication (history taking and explanation and planning), clinical examination, performance of clinical practical procedures and assessment appropriate to patient
Year 2 covers principles and application of clinical skills, in generic and specific terms as applied to the general, respiratory, cardiovascular, alimentary, head and neck, neurological, endocrine, urinary, and musculoskeletal systems. It also builds on students’ exposure to the simulated and clinical environments whilst focusing on patient centred care and patient safety.

It also builds on students’ exposure to the simulated and clinical environments whilst focusing on patient centred care and patient safety.
You will learn and develop your clinical skills over the 5 years of the MBChB programme and throughout your postgraduate career. This second-year course in clinical skills will provide you with an expanding platform for developing the communication skills (with both patients, families and healthcare colleagues) and the patient examination skills which will be required of you when you first start working as a doctor.
Information on contact teaching time is available from the course guide.

CSG grade for Clinical Skills 2 exam, generic feedback to cohort, breakdown of % marks by area of clinical practice (e.g., respiratory) and skill (e.g., communication) plus individual comments from examiners via VLE / MyMBChB. Students who fail are offered individual academic support and feedback meetings. |
