Overview

The Medicine and Surgery (Accelerated Programme) (Honours) programme from Newcastle University will prepare you to work as a doctor anywhere in the world, in both the clinical and academic arena.

This accelerated medicine and surgery programme enables you to complete the syllabus of years 1 and 2 of the five-year programme in one extended academic year (45 weeks).

Career opportunities:

After completing your University programme, you're currently eligible to apply for provisional registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) with a licence to practise, subject to demonstrating to the GMC that your fitness to practise is not impaired. However, the GMC are currently reviewing legislation and you should be aware this may be different in the future.

Currently, all UK medical graduates are required to complete a two-year Foundation Programme of general clinical training.

The majority of the students decide to apply to Foundation posts within the region. There are sufficient Foundation Programme places in the Northern Region for the majority of medical graduates.

International students are currently permitted to undertake the full Foundation Programme, ie the first two years following graduation, but you are normally required to return to your home country to complete further speciality training.

Programme Structure

Year 1

During Year 1, you learn through case-led teaching, with clinical cases used to ensure a problem-first, task-based focus.

You are allocated to a small study group, led by a clinical lecturer who provides support and guidance throughout the year. You'll cover a series of twenty-four clinical cases to put your learning into context and provide you with the essentials of medical practice.

Years 2 to 4

In years 2 to 4 you'll gain clinical experience through placements in our clinical base units across the region. You'll undergo a series of rotations, clerkships, assistantships and placements that cover all relevant areas of medicine and surgery. We'll place further emphasis on professional development, student choice, and hospital- and community-based medicine.

Throughout the final three years of the programme there will be opportunities for student choice. This includes two four-week student selected components and an eight-week elective.
