**Overview** Our MBChB (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery*) is a 4-year, graduate-entry, programme that will prepare you to be a compassionate, highly skilled doctor able to pursue any career pathway you choose. At Worcester you’ll spend much of your time learning medicine in the community alongside patients, as well as studying on campus. You’ll work closely with primary care teams, consultants and allied health professionals during a series of projects and placements - in general practice, outreach clinics, community hospitals and care facilities. You will of course spend time in hospitals – for example on medical and surgical wards, from specialised cancer treatment centres and psychiatric in-patient units, to labour wards and research laboratories - but from your first weeks as a medical student you will meet patients in general practice and start to join them on their healthcare journey. *Launching September 2022, subject to General Medical Council and University of Worcester approval **Key features** - **Open to graduates of any discipline**. We welcome applications from graduates in any subject area, including non-science degrees. - **Problem based learning**. You’ll work in small groups facilitated by practicing doctors following a 'problem based learning' curriculum. This often starts with the problems patients bring to you, and means you will learn about health from both the doctors’ and patients’ perspective. - **Community based**. For much of the course you’ll be immersed in the community, NHS and local health care teams. - **Clinical skills training**. We're developing a brand-new specialist teaching space on campus, which will contain simulation facilities for clinical skills training. - **Interdisciplinary**. You’ll work and learn alongside students from a range of health professions courses – providing many opportunities to learn from one another. - **Train for any specialism**. You'll train to work as a medical doctor and with further training can practice in any specialist area, from General Practice or Public Health, to Psychiatry, Anaesthesia or Surgery. **Accreditation** This programme is undergoing the process of accreditation by the UK General Medical Council (GMC). As part of the new school accreditation process, the GMC require new medical schools to have a contingency plan which would be enacted should the School not successfully complete the process or progression is delayed. The contingency plan is in place to allow students enrolled on the Worcester course to complete their studies and receive a UK Primary Medical Qualification from an alternative awarding body. Worcester’s contingency school is Swansea University Medical School. Students from other new Medical School have told us that they enjoyed being part of a process that helped shape a new School with modern approaches, modern attitudes and enthusiasm for success. **Places available** The number of places available for funded home students in UK medical schools is strictly limited. The University of Worcester has not yet been allocated any such places. Until this changes we will be offering places only to International students. If we identify alternatives to government funding there may be a small number of places available for home students, for which the fees will be the standard University of Worcester undergraduate fee (£9,250 in 2021/22). Please check our course page regularly, as we will update the page with more information as it becomes available.
