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 respiratory, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and endocrinology 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. Finally it will include 2 weeks of biomedical sciences based on the disciplines of oncology and haematology to prepare students for the Oncology, Haematology and Palliative Care Block.
