GEP Medicine in Society Handbook 2019/20
The Medicine in Society unit is the clinical contact module in Year 1 of the GEP course. Students will spend 12 days in primary care and 13 days in seconday care during the year.
6. Assessment
In Primary Care students will be assessed on their attitude and application and their completion of a learning log. (70% of total marks)
In secondary care they will be assessed on their case presentation. (30% of total marks)
Attendance
Student attendance is recorded at each placement. Tutors must inform us at the time of any non-attendance.
Any student unable to attend must submit an self certificate form to the University.
There may be occasions during the year when students have an in-course assessment exam on the Friday after a MedSoc day; these exams contribute only in a relatively small way to the students’ end of year marks. Students must attend their placement as usual. If tutors have any concerns about a student’s attendance, behaviour, health etc. they should contact the unit convenor as soon as possible.
