MDMP5511: Medical General Foundation Knowledge 1

Semester 1, 2022 [Normal day] - Camperdown/Darlington, Sydney

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.

Assessment summary

Programmatic Assessment is used in the Sydney MD Program that involves a program of assessment, standard setting, attendance,  professionalism and conduct, Learning Advisor meetings and opportunities for remediation.

Assessments will be integrated across the 8 vertical themes:

1) Basic and Clinical Sciences (BCS)

2) Clinical Skills (CS)

3) Diagnostics and Therapeutics (D&T)

4) Research, Evidence and Informatics (REI)

5) Population Health (PH)

6) Indigenous Health (IH)

7) Ethics, Law and Professionalism (ELP)

8) Inter-professional Learning and Teamwork (IPL)

The expected standard for each assessment must be met and will be outlined on Canvas. Decisions regarding the expected standard for each individual assessment will be based on a) a modified Cohen method of standard setting for knowledge-based assessments and b) competency levels defined by rubrics for written submissions and skill-based clinical assessment.

Progression is the SMP is determined by the Portfolio Sub-Committee on the advice of the Year 1 Advisory Group.

All students who meet the expected standard in all assessments will progress, if they have not breached the faculty professionalism requirements. In some cases, students may be required to undergo remediation and further assessment to meet the expected standards for progression. Please note there is a not a total numerical score that determines progression.  You are required to meet the individual assessment expected standards to progress.

The progression policies are outlined in the course resolutions: (https://www.sydney.edu.au/handbooks/medicine_health_PG/coursework_mr/medicine_doctor_rules.shtml

Assessment criteria

The University awards common result grades, set out in the Coursework Policy 2014 (Schedule 1).

The Sydney Medical Program awards by grade only: the grade should be either Satisfied Requirements (SR) or Failed Requirements (FR).

For more information see sydney.edu.au/students/guide-to-grades.

For more information see guide to grades.

Late submission

In accordance with University policy, these penalties apply when written work is submitted after 11:59pm on the due date:

  • Deduction of 5% of the maximum mark for each calendar day after the due date.
  • After ten calendar days late, a mark of zero will be awarded.

Academic integrity

The Current Student website  provides information on academic integrity and the resources available to all students. The University expects students and staff to act ethically and honestly and will treat all allegations of academic integrity breaches seriously.  

We use similarity detection software to detect potential instances of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breach. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism or other forms of academic integrity breaches, your teacher is required to report your work for further investigation.

You may only use artificial intelligence and writing assistance tools in assessment tasks if you are permitted to by your unit coordinator, and if you do use them, you must also acknowledge this in your work, either in a footnote or an acknowledgement section.

Studiosity is permitted for postgraduate units unless otherwise indicated by the unit coordinator. The use of this service must be acknowledged in your submission.

Simple extensions

If you encounter a problem submitting your work on time, you may be able to apply for an extension of five calendar days through a simple extension.  The application process will be different depending on the type of assessment and extensions cannot be granted for some assessment types like exams.

Special consideration

If exceptional circumstances mean you can’t complete an assessment, you need consideration for a longer period of time, or if you have essential commitments which impact your performance in an assessment, you may be eligible for special consideration or special arrangements.

Special consideration applications will not be affected by a simple extension application.

Using AI responsibly

Co-created with students, AI in Education includes lots of helpful examples of how students use generative AI tools to support their learning. It explains how generative AI works, the different tools available and how to use them responsibly and productively.

Attendance and class requirements

Attendance requirements will be monitored and tracked in the integrated portfolio-based assessment. All attendance requirements are described in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Attendance Provisions (2019). Please check the Canvas site for this unit for a copy of the provisions document. As per Clause 5 of the Progression Rules in the MD Regulations 2020, candidates who do not meet the attendance requirements of each year will need an approval from the Director of Sydney Medical Program and/or the relevant Portfolio Committee to continue their candidature.

Study commitment

Typically, there is a minimum expectation of 1.5-2 hours of student effort per week per credit point for units of study offered over a full semester. For a 24 credit point unit, this equates to roughly 480-600 hours of student effort in total.

Learning outcomes are what students know, understand and are able to do on completion of a unit of study. They are aligned with the University's graduate qualities and are assessed as part of the curriculum.

This section outlines changes made to this unit following staff and student reviews.

N/A
  • Assessment grading​: At the end of Semester 1, students will receive a grade of UC – Unit of study continuing, which will be finalised at the end of the year where students will receive one of the following grades for both year 1 units of study; Satisfied requirements (SR), Failed requirements no mark (FR) or another non-completion grade as per Schedule 1 of the Coursework Policy 2014.
  • Educational integrity: While the University is aware that the vast majority of students and staff act ethically and honestly, it is opposed to and will not tolerate academic dishonesty or plagiarism and will treat all allegations of dishonesty seriously.
    All written assignments submitted in this unit of study will be submitted to the similarity detecting software program known as Turnitin. Turnitin searches for matches between text in a student’s written assessment task and text sourced from the Internet, published works and assignments that have previously been submitted to Turnitin. If such matches indicate evidence of plagiarism the student’s work will be reported for further investigation. 
    Further information on academic honesty and the resources available to all students can be found on the Academic Integrity page of the current students’ website: sydney.edu.au/educational-integrity
