Course Types
Broadly-speaking, undergraduate medical education in the United Kingdom may be thought of along two continuums:
- The teaching method is one continuum - on which problem based learning is one extreme, and lecture based learning is the other extreme.
- The course structure - on which a clear pre-clinical/clinical divide is one extreme, and a totally integrated curriculum would be the other extreme.
These two can be combined in different ways to form different course types, and in reality few medical schools are at the extremes of either axis but occupy a middle ground.
