Traditional medical degrees Traditional medical degrees are split into two phases: the pre-clinical stage and the clinical stage. During the pre-clinical stage, students focus on the science behind medicine and learn mainly from lectures, small-group tutorials and lab work.
This phase lasts two or three years. During the three-year clinical stage, students are trained on hospital wards and supervised by consultants.
They also continue to attend lectures to support their learning. Traditional medical schools include the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge. Problem-based learning medical degrees Problem-based learning PBL involves a more interactive approach. A typical week at a PBL medical school may include: Around five lectures. Two PBL sessions — in the first, students are introduced to fictional patient cases, discuss their existing knowledge related to them, and set learning objectives by deciding what more they need to know.
They then complete these objectives in time for the second session. Clinical skills sessions — physical examination practice or interviewing actors playing the role of patients. Biopracticals — practical applications of medicine, eg use of electrocardiograms ECG and other medical equipment. Anatomy sessions — students are given pre-dissected bodies, which they use to identify and study the organs they have learned about.
One day of clinical placement, either in a hospital or GP surgery. This is spent interviewing and discussing patients with a tutor. Integrated medical degrees Integrated courses tend to take a systems-based approach.

Pharmacy — hospital and community pharmacy involves substantial patient contact but focuses more on drug prescription. The course is more chemistry-oriented. Nursing — this still requires a broad scientific knowledge and involves a lot of patient contact.
Entry requirements are usually not quite as high. Dentistry — dentists prevent, diagnose and treat oral diseases and conditions. They also treat people with cancer. Orthoptics — this specialism involves investigating and treating vision disorders and defects of eye movement.
Physiotherapy — this area focuses on restoring movement, function and comfort to those affected by injury, illness or disability. According to their documentation, whenever HubSpot changes the session cookie, this cookie is also set to determine if the visitor has restarted their browser.

Deciding on Medicine Wondering if Medicine is right for you? Being a doctor is a uniquely rewarding career.
It is also extremely challenging. There are certain key qualities that make a good medical student and, ultimately, a good doctor. Think about yourself What do you like doing? How do you like to spend your time? Think about what is going to get the best out of you and give you the most satisfaction. What are you good at? For example, do you have fantastic organisational, time management and team working skills needed for medicine? Do you have strong scientific ability and the manual dexterity skills needed for dentistry?
What feedback have you had from others about your skills, such as from teachers, friends, family — what do they say about you? Giving some detailed thought into your skills can provide you with really important evidence about yourself to inform your future decision.
Think about what matters to you most. Having responsibility? People contact? Having good work-life balance? Imagine a typical day doing each role. Does the typical day of a doctor sound like you?
