Upon completion of this module, students will have gained knowledge and clinical skills to understand the normal to abnormal spectrum of Cardiovascular, Respiratory, Musculoskeletal/Immunology, Endocrine Health; with particular focus on 1) the processes responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis in the human body, 2) the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and natural history of common diseases, 3) investigations that can aid in diagnosis, and 4) pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options and prevention strategies to manage common diseases. Each system is covered over 4-weeks duration and the content incorporates themes relevant to the topic, including Basic and Clinical Sciences, Clinical Skills, Therapeutics and Diagnostics, Population Health, Ethics Law and Professionalism, Interprofessional Teamwork and Indigenous Health. Learning will be based on authentic clinical scenarios using team-based learning, with integration of core biomedical sciences including anatomy, biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology and physiology. This will ensure a sound biomedical foundation for clinical learning in Year 2 and beyond. One day per week will be reserved for flexible learning. With the increasing utilisation of the ¿flipped classroom¿ approach, students will have time to independently review online material. Students will spend one-day per week at their clinical schools learning foundation clinical skills in history, examination and procedural skills with a mixture of supervised clinical experience, simulation and near-peer teaching.

In the Medicine, Surgery and Community Blocks, the aims to further consolidate clinical skills such as core history-taking, examination, clinical-reasoning, team-work and procedural skills in hospital and community settings through guided experiential learning. It is aligned with year 1, Blocks revisiting core symptoms from respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and endocrinology, with emphasis on clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, basic investigations and therapy; and renal/urology, gastroenterology and neurosciences, with emphasis on clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, basic investigations and therapy. In the Back to Basics and Research Methods Block is based at Camperdown campus and students will learn clinically relevant anatomy, imaging, microbiology and therapeutics that will support what they have seen in clinical practice. They will also begin preparation for the MD project and learn about research methodology. Finally, it will include 2 weeks of biomedical sciences based on the disciplines of oncology and hematology, to prepare students for the Oncology and Hematology Block. In the Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Care Block will be predominantly delivered in clinical schools. There will be one day a week of centralised lectures for haematology and oncology,

Students undertaking Specialty Blocks in Psychiatry and addiction Medicine (PAAM), Child and Adolescent Health (CAH), Perinatal and Women's Health (PWH), and Critical Care (Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesia, Intensive Care Medicine). Students participate in a variety of clinical activities in hospital wards, outpatient clinics and community-based clinics. In the end of year 3, student will be working on their MD research projects. The MD project is a scholarly investigation into a topic relevant to health or medicine, leading to a formal report submitted for summative assessment. Students will undertake an approved, supervised research or capstone project culminating in the submission of a written report in the form of a thesis or in the form of an article suitable for publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The report will be examined and graded. Students will be required to attend Conference Week in semester 2 and encouraged to present their work in the form or a poster or, by invitation, an oral presentation. Students must have achieved a pass standard in their MD Final Report in order to progress to year 4.

In the Medicine and Surgery blocks, students participate in ward services and outpatient clinics in the teaching hospitals of their allocated Clinical Schools or in rural clinical schools. Students are exposed to general medicine and surgery as well as to some subspecialty areas. Students also undertake eight weeks of general practice and community health placements in a variety of settings including rural, remote and urban practice. The Elective in the beginning of the year offers students an opportunity to undertake supervised experience in a health-related activity. This may be clinical work in hospital or community settings, research global health or health policy work locally, interstate or anywhere in the world. At the end of the year students do a Vocational Elective, which offers students an opportunity to undertake supervised experience in a health-related activity. This may be clinical work in hospital or community settings, research, public health or health policy work locally, interstate or internationally. It is an opportunity to prepare for a career direction. It is an opportunity for international students to develop networks in their own countries. Students usually organise their own vocational selective or their clinical school can advise of opportunities.
