Course Summary

This course is the primary medical qualification awarded by the University of Bristol and is recognised by the General Medical Council. On this course you will learn about the art, science and craft of medicine through: - early clinical exposure in hospital, community and primary care settings; - a blend of lectures, case-based learning and practical work; - state-of-the-art anatomy facilities including cadaveric prosections; - inter-professional working with students of nursing, pharmacy and physiotherapy; - integration of basic science and clinical learning throughout the course; - a substantial student choice programme to explore personal interests in more detail and to experience potential career options; - completion of a research project of your choice; - an exciting opportunity to study abroad as part of your final year elective; - a final year that is constructed explicitly to prepare you for your first job as a foundation doctor. **Health and conduct** Certain health conditions may be incompatible with some careers in medicine. Further information can be found with our pre-course information, or you can contact our Occupational Health team. If you have a chronic health condition please contact the enquiries team for guidance on making an application. We have excellent support services available including Disability Services, student health and student counselling. Medical students must complete a health questionnaire and undergo a medical examination. Non-immune students must be immunised against hepatitis B and tuberculosis. In accordance with General Medical Council guidelines, all medical students undergo a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check in line with other UK health-related courses. **Age Requirement** Students must be 18 years of age (or above) by registration, which takes place in September, in their year of entry to undertake the clinical experiential learning in our teaching (general) practices and clinical academies. This is to ensure that our students have the legal capacity to be bound by the rules of confidentiality of our NHS partners. **Interviews** Applicants must be available for interview from December to April immediately following submission of their application.
