Programme Description
UL's BM BS Graduate Medical Programme (GMP) is open to graduates from any discipline. It has a highly innovative curriculum which offers students the opportunity to complete undergraduate medical training in four years in an environment specifically designed for graduate students. During your four years of study, you will be taught all of the basic medical and clinical sciences necessary to form the basis for postgraduate training and for a career in one or other branch of medicine.
Programme of study
The curriculum is taught in a traditional academic year, starting in September. Years 1 & 2 are taught on campus and consist of 33 teaching weeks per year. Years 3 & 4 consist of clinical training, where students rotate through the major clinical disciplines in affiliated hospitals and training general practices. The curriculum has three main modules or domains: Knowledge of Health & Illness; Clinical and Anatomical Skills; Professional Competencies. These domains are designed to ensure that all aspects of the skills required to be a doctor are addressed, from the sciences underpinning a rational approach to diagnosis and management, to an awareness of the importance of personal development.
