Upon completion of this module, students will have gained knowledge and clinical skills to understand the normal to abnormal spectrum of Musculoskeletal, Immunology, Respiratory, Cardiovascular, Renal and Urology, 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. 4. Pharmacological and non pharmacological treatment options and prevention strategies to manage common diseases. Each system is covered over four 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 a 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.

Upon completion of this module, students will have gained knowledge and clinical skills to understand the normal to abnormal spectrum of Endocrine and Nutrition, Sexual Health and Reproduction, Endocrine, Gastroenterology and Neurosciences. There will be 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 four weeks duration with the exception of Sexual Health and Reproduction with two weeks duration and Neurosciences with six weeks duration.

In the Medicine Surgery and Community Block 1 the aims are to further consolidate clinical skills developed in Year 1, such as core history taking examination, clinical reasoning, teamwork and procedural skills in hospital and community settings through guided experiential learning. It is aligned with year 1 Blocks revisiting core symptoms from musculoskeletal and immunology, respiratory, cardiovascular, renal and urology with emphasis on clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, basic investigations and therapy. The students will spend 3 days per week at their clinical school, 1 day per week in the community and 1 day per week will be reserved for flexible learning. The Back to Basics and Research Methods Block is based at Camperdown campus and students will learn about the lifespan including paediatrics, adolescent medicine, acute medicine, drug and alcohol, aged care and Indigenous health. Students also begin preparation for the MD project and learn about research methodology.

The Haematology and Oncology Blocks will start with a week of biomedical sciences relevant to the disciplines of haematology and oncology. Both blocks will be predominantly delivered in clinical schools with Palliative Care integrated across the 2 blocks. There will be one day a week of centralised lectures for haematology and oncology. The Medicine Surgery and Community Block 2 aims to further consolidate clinical skills such as core history taking, examination, clinical reasoning, teamwork and procedural skills in hospital and community settings through guided experiential learning. It is aligned with year 1 Blocks revisiting core symptoms from renal, nurology, gastroenterology and neurosciences with emphasis on clinical presentations, differential diagnosis, basic investigations and therapy.

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. At the start of year 3, students 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 of year 4 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.
