About this course
**Overview**
Being a doctor is a privileged position which has at its heart a real and deep-seated vocation to help people. It’s a demanding and challenging profession, but very rewarding. Our course focuses on relating your learning to real life, using scenarios and clinical problems from patients, with an emphasis on developing your clinical experience and theoretical knowledge from the start.
Studying Medicine at Norwich Medical School means that you’ll join an exceptional group of medical students studying in a thriving student-centred learning environment, where students and staff share a passion for making a positive difference to people’s lives. The Gateway Year will equip you with the academic skills and knowledge you'll need to progress onto our five-year MB BS Medicine course and to succeed. For the vast majority of our students, it's their foundational gateway to becoming a qualified doctor.
At Norwich Medical School, we believe in learning in context. From the very first weeks of our course, you’ll spend time every week in clinical practice, ensuring that you're able to apply your learning to patients in the same week. You’ll explore anatomy linked to clinical practice in our anatomy facility, including dissection. You’ll have access to a varied range of clinical placements in acute hospital wards, specialist units and general practice. And, we’ll focus on linking theory with practice across the course, including during small-group teaching sessions and within primary care placements.
At Norwich Medical School, we put patients at the heart of everything we do. With a curriculum approved by the General Medical Council (GMC) and developed in accordance with their standards, our MB BS degree in Medicine will see you embarking on placements almost immediately, so you’ll gain early exposure to the clinical skills essential to addressing the complex needs of patients in the 21st century. You’ll develop your clinical skills with access to the architecture-award winning Bob Champion Research and Education Building, with its state-of-the-art facilities and purpose-built clinical resource centre.
You’ll graduate as a professional, ready to use your skills and knowledge in your chosen field to improve the health of patients in your care. Our combination of research-based classroom teaching and experiential learning will ensure that you have all of the skills you need to start your career in medicine.
