Course Description
The MSc. Clinical Medicine has been designed to meet the needs of overseas doctors from a variety of clinical backgrounds and varying seniority from early stages of postgraduate development to those wanting to re-evaluate their career choices. It provides the opportunity for doctors with general post qualification experience to develop their knowledge and expertise by studying specialist modules as part of a broader master's programme that aims to enhance career development and increase promotion opportunities. In recent years, changes in postgraduate medical training has emphasised the need for medical practice based on more effective teamwork, a multi-disciplinary approach and flexible training pathways tailored to meet service and personal development needs. This makes formal career development for doctors increasingly important and is not readily available in the overseas markets that this programme is targeting. In the current climate, doctors need to develop new attributes including the ability to foster clinical innovation, and have improved clinical, strategic and professional skills to improve health outcomes and provide safe and effective practice. (Good Medical Practice 2008) This programme has been specifically designed to facilitate development of these advanced skills and to improve confidence of practitioners who need to enhance their diagnostic and clinical decision making skills (Turner 2007)
