Course description

MEDI7200 Developing Skills in Medicine is a comprehensive 16-unit course in the second year of the UQMD program. Building on the foundations of the first year, this course takes a learner-centered approach aligned with Australian Medical Council requirements and program Graduate Outcomes. The curriculum integrates the UQMD program's six vertical themes and develops clinical reasoning through nine focus areas that integrate clinical practice and medicine, biomedical sciences, and public health and social sciences. Students gain hands-on experience through immersion in diverse clinical care settings in the Collaborative Care and Outpatients immersion, and General Practice immersion, allowing them to apply their knowledge and clinical skills in real-world contexts. Two key developmental streams enhance the learning experience further: a. a longitudinal leadership and professional development stream that builds foundational skills in leadership and quality management sciences; and a personalised learning stream offering opportunities for students to either explore areas of special interest or focus on skills that will benefit from additional development
