| Course description | The course is congruent and contiguous with Year 1, comprising the three principal strands, basic, clinical and social sciences. These are co-ordinated and integrated by problem-based learning scenarios through four modules ( clinical genetics, renal, endocrinology and a virtual clinic). Each module will include some biomedical science, behavioural and psychosocial science (which are the two major strands) and clinical science, but to varying proportions. The themes of each module will include problems of a patient with disease of a particular organ system. The interrelationship of biological, psychological and social factors in the causation of disease and on the ability of patients to be cured of or to live with the disease will be demonstrated and serve to emphasize that all learning is relevant to the practice of medicine. The purpose of the courses in Year 2 of the medical course is to act as a bridge between the broad introduction in Year 1 and the more specific, systems-based courses that follow in Year 3.
