Medicine 4

A masters level course offered by the ANU Medical School as part of the Doctor of Medicine and Surgery (MChD). Medicine 4 is the fourth and final year of the ANU Medical program. Medicine 4 is delivered in four curriculum blocks over the course of the fourth year of the program: Women's Health and Newborn Care, Psychiatry and Addictive Medicine, Senior Medicine and Surgery and Acute care. The Year 4 blocks are designed to consolidate clinical reasoning and practical skills through immersion within a range of clinical environments. The emphasis throughout each block is on self-directed, experiential learning and deep involvement in the day-to-day care of their patients. Students will have clear requirements for attendance, patient clerking and unit involvement. The prolonged attachments will allow them practice in the synthesis of information and the development of concise management plans for their patients. Elements of Population Health, Professionalism and Leadership, Evidence Based Practice and Clinical Skills will be integrated into all parts of each term.
