Foundations of medical practice

This unit builds upon previous study to extend and consolidate knowledge, skills and attitudes for medical practice.

Content encompasses the four themes of the Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine (MD) curriculum: Theme I (Personal and Professional Development), Theme II (Society, Population, Health and Illness), Theme III (Scientific Basis of Clinical Practice) and Theme IV (Clinical Skills).

Learning approaches support you in integrating knowledge, skills and attitudes relevant to patient centred health care and the practice of medicine. You will explore health care provision across rural and metropolitan contexts.

This unit provides the foundation for learning in clinical settings in later years of the course.
